Name Above All Names Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the name above every other name. Your name is like a fortified tower in which I can find safety and security. When I am troubled, I can find peace in your name. When I feel weak, I can find strength in your name. When I feel overwhelmed, I can find rest in your name. When I feel surrounded by pressures on every side, I can find stability in your name. Your name is beautiful, Lord, help me to rely on you. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

God’s Mighty Hand Prayer
Creator God, your hand threw the stars into space and the same hand reaches down to me with a gentle touch. I don’t have the strength to deal with the situation I am facing, please uphold me with your righteous right hand. I don’t know what to do, please help me. You say that I do not need to be afraid or dismayed because you are my God and you are with me. Help me to know your presence in the midst of my circumstances and draw strength from you. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Victory Prayer
Heavenly Father, you are my strength and my song. You are worthy of all my praise, no matter what my circumstances are. When I look to Jesus’ death and resurrection I see the greatest victory that has already been won on my behalf. I pray that I would find confidence in that victory and that I would live my life in the light of your love, whatever may be happening around me. Help me, Father.  Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Everlasting Love Prayer
Everlasting God, you never fail to help your people. Throughout history we see you acting in love towards your children. When they cry out to you, you hear and respond. When they fail and turn away from you, you do not turn your back on them. In this time of trouble, give me a steadfast mind and fill me with peace as I put my trust in you, Father God. With you, I will not crumble like a house built on sand but I will stand firm with my feet on you, the everlasting rock. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Calm My Fears Prayer
Eternal Father, you know my past, present and future, nothing is unknown to you. When I worry about what is ahead of me, please calm my fears with the knowledge that you go before me. I will never be alone because you will always be with me. You have promised that you will not fail me or forsake me and you are faithful to keep all your promises. Take away my fear and replace it with faith in your unending love. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

God Is My Rock Prayer
Lord, my rock and redeemer, you know everything about me. You have rescued me from my sin, you have called me by name. I belong to you. As I pass through the storms of life, you are with me. You say that I will not be overwhelmed in the flood or consumed by the fire. You are my Savior in every part of my life. You give me everything I need. The breath I use to pray this prayer is a gift from you. Help me rely on you. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Prince of Peace Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the prince of peace, you breathed on your disciples and gave them your peace. I ask that you would give me your peace in this time of trouble. When I feel anxious would you remind me that your word says I do not need to worry, but in everything I should pray to you. Your peace, which surpasses understanding will guard my heart and mind. Please give me that peace at this time. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Remove My Fear Prayer
Graciously loving Father, you hear the prayers of your people. Please turn your ear to my cry for help. As I seek you, would you answer and deliver me from all my fears. The fears that threaten to overwhelm me don’t stand a chance in the light of your loving power. When I feel out of control, remind me that you are in control. You make all things work together for my good even when I don’t understand how that could be possible. Increase my faith in you. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

God’s Peace Prayer
God of all peace, you are the source of all hope in life. My circumstances are far from peaceful at this time Lord but your peace is not the peace that the world offers. Your peace can transcend the situation I find myself in. My heart is troubled Lord, you said you can take away my fear. Give me your peace and let it transform my mind, my heart and my actions. I can’t see a way out, but you can make a way. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

God Is With Me Prayer
Faithful Father, you have never left my side. Although I have often wandered from you, you have always remained beside me. With you at my side, I will not be shaken, whatever life throws at me. Help me to always place you at the center, guiding my path and protecting me from evil. As I experience the brokenness of this world would you refresh my soul to continue praising you. There is no God like you, you are worthy of all my praise. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
