Holy Father,

Since You are all-knowing, I know You already see what I’ve been going through. You know my struggles, my fears, and the weight I carry in my heart.

I never feared death when I was younger, but now that I’m in my thirties, I find myself filled with anxiety about the future. I don’t understand why this fear has crept into my heart, but I bring it before You, Lord. Please calm my restless spirit and grant me peace.

You also know the bad choices I have made, the mistakes I regret, and the selfishness I have allowed to take hold of me at times. I come before You now, asking for Your forgiveness. Cleanse me, Lord. Wash away my sins, and help me walk in righteousness.

I wish my faith was stronger. I want wisdom, Lord, but sometimes it is so hard to hold onto faith when I see so much pain and suffering in this world. I struggle to understand why things happen the way they do, but I know that You are in control. Help me trust in Your plan even when I don’t understand.

I want to know You more, Father. I want to be closer to You, to live as Your child, and to seek You with all my heart. I understand that faith in You and Your Son, Jesus, is mankind’s only hope. I know that one day, You will create a new heaven and a new earth, and I pray with all my soul that I will be there with You, living eternally in Your presence.

You are greater than I can comprehend, more wonderful than my mind can grasp. And so, I am asking You—come into my life, into my heart. I need You, God. I need a miracle. I need deliverance. I know I am saved, but why do I still struggle with fear? Maybe I need to humble myself more, to surrender completely to You.

Sometimes, I feel so weary of this world. The trials and tribulations feel overwhelming. But then I remember that You see our hearts, that You know us deeply, and that nothing escapes Your sight. That truth gives me comfort.

Please help me, Lord. Give me the strength to withstand the attacks of the enemy. Protect my mind, my heart, and my faith. And through it all, I will praise Your holy name. Thank You for all that You have done, for Your endless mercy, and for Your love that never fails.

In Jesus’ holy name, I pray.

Amen.
