Prayer for strength hope and faith
We are surrounded with reminders of the blessings we have in our lives. Throughout the day, we hear laughter from living rooms, smell the aroma of cooking in kitchens, and see playing children in backyards. We pass by homes packed with families during our daily errands and drive passed churches when we are on vacation. Whatever the circumstance, there is something to remind us that we are not alone.
Life is tough. We go through all that we do, on our own strength and wisdom. But what if we had extra strength to get through? What if there was a Higher Power that could help us?
God, please give me strength.
I know that you are there, and I believe in you. I believe in your love for me, and I also believe that you want me to be happy. And yet sometimes it feels like my life is not going as planned, and that makes me feel sad. I know this is a test of faith—a test of my faith in you and a test of my faith that things will get better if only I can wait long enough.
But Lord, the waiting is hard. And sometimes it seems like things won’t get better no matter how much time passes or what I do to try to make them better. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change—and if nothing changes then why should I bother getting out of bed? Why should I keep trying? It’s all so overwhelming: the pain, the fear… the loneliness.
Lord God Almighty, please help me! Please give me strength!

A Prayer for God’s Power
Oh, God, today help us to live with faith. May it not be said of us that our faith is too small, or to help us to look to You, to see in You, Your infinite power. Your infinite glory, and greatness, and grander, and majesty, Your infinite ability. Keep us, oh God, from trusting in our power. Help us to trust in Your power. Help us to pray accordingly as we pray, even right now. God, help us to realize we’re talking to You, the king of the universe that has all authority and all power, who’s sovereignly ruling and reigning over all things. Help us not to underestimate You in our praying. As we pray for others, as we serve others, help us to do that cognizant of Your power.
“We don’t want to lead our lives to do ministry to others in our own power, in our own strength, in our own ability. Forgive us, oh God, for our tendency to do that. Lord, help us to trust in You. Help us to seek You. Help us to believe You. God, give us greater faith, we pray. Lord, help us to live with trust in Your power to do that which would be impossible otherwise. We think about things that we’re praying for, I’m guessing and supposing, in each of our lives right now. That we know if You don’t come through, if You don’t do it, it won’t happen. We trust, oh God, that You have the power to do it. You have the power to answer these prayers, so we pray that You do it in a way that displays Your glory. Give us faith like that. “We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. (from Pray the Word, Back to the Bible)

For Strength and Wisdom
Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need.

Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid. Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord. I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You. I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name. In Jesus name. Amen.
In My Weakness, You Are Strong
