SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

"My times are in a Your hand."
                                                        Psalm 31:15


O Lord!

You know my heart! I am so oppressed on all sides that I quite often want to end my life! Life has become hopeless and I see no way out.

Lord Your word says that my body is Your temple and as such I have no authority over my life and body. Yet Lord I am unable to resist this suicidal tendency. Strengthen my heart and remove all suicidal though and any attempts I have made to take my own life. I acknowledge that satan is a thief and comes to steal, kill and destroy. I now choose You Lord Jesus, as my Master who came to give me life and give it abundantly.

I renounce all my harmful thoughts and I crave Your forgiveness for nursing such thoughts. Thank You for Your forgiveness that allows me to forgive myself. I believe that my times are in Your precious hands and that there is always hope in Christ. Thank You Lord for taking over my soul, my body and my life. In Jesus Name I pray.

Amen.



LOVE FAILURE

"Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert."
                                                                     Isaiah 43: 18-19


Most loving Lord!

You know my broken heart! I am shattered and I just do not know how to come out of this disappointment Tears flow down my cheeks and I sink in my sorrow O Lord!

The scripture says that all things work together only for good. Right now I do not understand Your ways but strengthen me to accept Your will. I turn to You for help for I know without You I can never come out of this depression. Comfort me Lord and sustain me with Your sweet presence. I commit my future in Your hands. Help me forget my past and let me start a new life with You as my guide. Make me glad and grant me a glorious future. Lift me up Lord from this depressed state and wipe away my tears with Your loving hands. I cast all my burdens and disappointments at Your feet Lord! Keep me in perfect peace till I receive the partner of Your choice from Your hands. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.









MISUNDERSTANDING IN RELATIONSHIP

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

                                                                                                         John 14:27; Hebrews 13:5



Our gracious and loving Father,

You have promised in the Scriptures that You will never leave us nor forsake us, whatever may be the circumstances. You are the same yesterday, today and forever.

Father, fill our hearts and minds with Your divine peace which surpasses all understanding. Help us to live in peace with one another. Fill us with that peace which the world can never give. Take control of all our thoughts, words and deeds. Refine us and purify us as gold. Help us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart be acceptable in Your sight.

I curse the acts of the devil which has brought in this strain in our relationship. Let every demonic stronghold and bondages that steals away the peace between us be shattered, in Jesus' mighty name.

Lord, it is You alone who can change our present situation and grant us peace. So, reign upon our minds and restore to us the joy of Your salvation. I Thank You Father, for restoring peace in our hearts and minds. I give You all the glory.

                          Amen.



WRONG RELATIONSHIPS

Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.
"In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy.

                                                                                     Ecclesiastes 12:6; Isaiah 30:15; Psalm 145:8.



Gracious Father,

The Scripture quotes that we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. Lord, enable me to acknowledge You in all my ways. Believing that You are the way, the truth and the life, I enter into Your presence with this supplication. Create in me a pure heart, O Lord, and sanctify me totally as I surrender my life to You. I admit that I have wronged against You through this relationship which is against Your will and I have come short of Your glory. But out of Your divine grace and mercies, save me and sanctify me, since I believe the Your grace is sufficient to meet all my needs at this hour of despair.

Help me to seek Your face always and give You the first preference as the Bible says, "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Father, accept me graciously into Your fold once more and remember my sins no more. Help me to renounce this wrong relationship once and forever. Let not my sin have dominion over me. I subject all my thoughts under Your divine control. Help me listen to Your sweet still voice as I trust in Your grace and loving-kindness. Enable me to fix my gaze on You alone and keep me from the lust of eyes, lust of flesh and the pride of life. Keep me holy even as You are holy.

I believe that You have heard my cry and would keep me in Your perfect grace from now onwards. I ask this prayer in the holy name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

                                                                                                   Amen.



TRAPPED IN SIN

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

                                                                                                                 Psalm 18:2; 145:18



Our Father in Heaven,

I have been caught up in this snare of the devil. Inadvertently, I have taken a wrong step somewhere and I am now in a situation that I cannot come out by myself. Almighty Father, I look up to You because Your Word says that You will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy.

I believe as it is written, "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works." Have mercy upon me O Lord. Save me by Your righteous right hand. I totally trust in You. So help me Lord, to take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. I promise to be Your child and walk by the path that You show me, even as You have said, "Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it." I commit all my ways before You Lord.

Thank You Father because I believe, You have already made way for my escape from this sin. I shall glorify Your name because You are a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy. In Jesus' name I pray.

                                                                                                                                                                        Amen




GUILT

Now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
                                                                           Romans 6:22.


Dear Father,

If there is one thing that can kill a man gradually, it is guilt. And Lord, I am spending sleepless nights struggling with this feeling of guilt.

Your Word says that Your blood can only has cleansed me off all my sins and unrighteousness and made me holy. But this guilt of the past is chasing me. So I understand that this guilt is from the devil and he is the one who tries to dig out what Your love has already covered. You have overcome the evil one and rendered him powerless.

Father, I once again acknowledge that You have washed away all my sins, declared me righteous and holy, and the devil no longer has any power over me. Dear Father, help me to control my thoughts and overcome my unbelief.

Father, I thank You for helping me to come out of this thought of guilt and assuring me that I am Your son, as You have washed me off all my sins. In Jesus' mighty name I pray.

Amen.



BAD THOUGHTS

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
                                                                                                          Psalm 51:10


Dear Father!

I am not worthy to stand by Your throne of Grace! Yet Lord trusting in Your abundant mercy I have come to You.

The Scripture says that You are able to aid those who are tempted. Lord! I am in an age where I can easily become a pry to satanic snares. I am just not able to resist the unwanted thoughts that haunt my mind quite often. Somehow filthy thoughts creep into my mind and hamper my day-to-day life as well as my walk with You. I crave Your forgiveness for all my sinful thoughts.

Lord! Grant me Your Holy Spirit who alone can burn the roots of sin in my heart. Help me to meditate Your words more and more so that I can guard my heart and mind and walk safely in Your way. I am just of the flesh O Lord! Whom do I have beside You to help me overcome this sinful nature in me! You never forsake those who come to You! Show mercy on me so that I can flee the lusts of the flesh. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and make my body the temple of the Holy Spirit. Take full control of my thoughts and let Your power rule over me.

I thank You for helping me and strengthening me to lead a victorious life. In Jesus' name - I pray.

Amen.
