Guided Prayer
One · Pause
Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Two · Check in
What is the loudest thing in your mind right now? Let it be named and set down.
Three · Scripture · King James Version
“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Psalm 61:2 · KJV
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28–30 · KJV
“The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Exodus 14:14 · KJV
Four · Reflection
David prayed from the end of his rope, asking to be led to a rock higher than himself. You are not required to be the strong one here.
Five · Pray this
Lord, my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Quiet the noise, show me what is actually mine to carry today, and fight for me where I cannot fight. In Jesus' name, amen.
Six · Now in your own words
Name the three heaviest things. Ask God which one is His to carry today.
Seven · Private journal
Everything on my mind, written out. Then circle only what belongs to today.
Eight · One practical step
Cross one thing off, delay one thing, and ask for help with one thing.
Before you go
You do not have to solve it all at once. Rest is part of obedience.
