Prayer to Request God's Help if you're feeling defeated
An unfortunate part of life is feeling defeated. There are going to be days where situations seem entirely out of your control, and life gets a little too hard. The challenges in front of you will feel so overwhelming that you cannot find a way out. You might struggle to lift your head to say, “I can get my life back on track.”
When you feel this kind of great defeat, your first reaction might be to retreat within yourself. You will not want to talk about what you are feeling with others. God, though, is ready and waiting to hear your pain when you are prepared to speak with Him. He can give you guidance on what to do next and take some of the weight off your shoulders. This prayer will help you get started when you are ready to open a conversation with Him.
This prayer is an ideal starting point when you are not sure what to say. It covers a wide range of feelings and emotions that you can reflect on. It also encourages you to ask God for His direct help, so you can start healing.
Prayer
Lord,
I am feeling defeated. I do not know if there is anything I can do to fix the situation I am in. The obstacles in front of me seem unconquerable. I have failed and let others down. The weight is placing a burden on my heart. In Psalm 46:1, you say: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”.
Help me to accept and remember this truth as I try and pick my life back up. I am laying out my feelings before you so that you can help restore me. Please comfort me and mend my heart. I pray that these defeated feelings will not stop me, and I can rise again.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
