I haven't done anything to be punished for plus I do not feel as if I am being punished by God. FYI, I saw this old newspaper clipping that a friend on Facebook had found while cleaning and thought this would make a nice prayer meme.
And, God wants us as Christians to pray to him even when we are experiencing difficult times in our lives. He never said it would be easy and He says to ask for guidance and lean on Him especially during the difficult times in our lives.
*PRAYER FOR STRESS & ANXIETY*
DEAR LORD, YOU KNOW THE DIFFICULT
THINGS I AM DEALING WITH. YOU
KNOW HOW MY MIND WON'T STOP
THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING. I FEEL
STRESSED AND SO UNSETTLED. I'M
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN. PLEASE TAKE MY WORRIES
AND THE "WHAT IF'S" FROM ME.
HELP ME FOCUS MY THOUGHTS ON
YOU AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT
COULD HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME
TO TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME.
PLEASE GUIDE ME AND TAKE
CONTROL OF THIS SITUATION.
PLEASE GIVE ME PEACE.
AMEN.
