A Prayer to Release Your Heavy Burden

Are you facing an enormous storm in your life, and you’re not sure what will get you through it? When riding through any storm, you must remember that God is bigger than your circumstances. The Bible tells us, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD, your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). It’s important to have faith in God even when dealing with any storm in life, but this can be especially difficult when you’re anxious or fearful. This is easier said than done when you think of all the things around that can insight fear and despair. Being anxious-natured can make your problems feel colossal and cause us to lose sight of the one thing that can pull us through – our Father in Heaven. The truth is, we have hope through the promises of God that we can find directly in scripture. Here is a prayer of hope when you’re going through the storms of life.

Psalms 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.” We are called to this Earth for a specific purpose, with a specific purpose, even when we don’t always know what that purpose is. What we should always focus on is the fact that we are safe with God and that He is in control. Learn to accept that you can’t control or change certain life circumstances, so we need to relinquish control. The only thing you can change in life is you. Have the courage to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses. Take an honest look at yourself and acknowledge that you’re not perfect and work on what you can. This is the first step on the journey of change within.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, when I feel as though I’m alone in the eye of the storm,
Let me remember that You are with me and that with You I can weather anything.
I thank You for being there no matter how heavy my burden, no matter how tiring my load.
Amen.

None of the storms you will go through in life will be pleasant. They can cause much pain. Yet, even in our regrets, God comforts us with His faithfulness. Whatever battle you are in, you stand victorious when you trust in God. One great way to combat the storms of life is to pray. The great thing about prayer is that it can help us channel a hope that we didn’t even know we could access. Allow the power of prayer to work on your life and watch incredible things happen.
