Guided Prayer

Needing Strength

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 asking more of you than you have today?

Three · Scripture · King James Version

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 41:10 · KJV

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:13 · KJV

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 46:1 · KJV

Four · Reflection

God is a very present help — not a distant one. Strength here is borrowed, given for the thing in front of you.

Five · Pray this

Lord, I do not have enough for this. Strengthen me and uphold me with Your right hand. Be my refuge and my very present help right now. In Jesus' name, amen.

Six · Now in your own words

Ask for strength for today only, and name what it is for.

Seven · Private journal

What I am facing, and where I have seen God strengthen me before.

Eight · One practical step

Do the next hard thing, and let someone help you with it.

Before you go

His strength is enough for today. That is all you need right now.
