There comes a time in every girl's life where she feels that everything is spiraling out of control. It hits everyone at a different point in time, whether it be in middle school, college, or even after you send your first kid off to college. The symptoms are different for each person too; changes in personality, sadness, even feeling like you don't know if you can handle it anymore.
While it is a time in her life where she feels like everyone and the world are against her, I'm here to remind you that God is always on your side. He loves you unconditionally and always, always wants what is best for you.
When I am going through a hard time I always turn to prayer. A prayer is the most powerful thing I've ever seen with my own eyes, and even the smallest prayer can go a long way.
Here are 13 prayers that you can say, no matter how busy you are, to help calm the stress that life throws at you.
1. God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
2. God, today appears to be too much. I feel that I can barely breathe and can't last for the next hour, let alone all day. Please let your love fill me and calm me entirely.
3. God, help me remember that nothing is going to happen today that you and I, together, can't handle.
4. God, I ask humbly for you to meet me, for I am too tired and greatly discouraged to reach out to you.
5. God, please fill me with hope and send a reminder today that hope is an unbreakable, spiritual lifeline.
6. God, I cannot heal my wounds that are heavily concealed, I ask for your guidance and your comforting words to help me move past this.
7. God, I can't seem to find your strength, that I so desperately need. I do not doubt you in any way, but please show me you are working.
8. God, I know you must have a plan for me, but I cannot see past the present. Please help me let go of my troubles and help guide me into a sacred space.
9. God, I know there is a lack of peace in our world, but there is also a lack of peace in my mind. I humbly ask that you help rejuvenate and cleanse me.
10. God, many times I feel like my life is spinning out of control. There are many decisions and situations that I cannot face. Please be with me through this time.
11. God, I feel scared and alone with enemies surrounding me that are unbeatable. Please give me strength and ease of mind to get through this.
12. God, I feel like giving up. I can no longer see the light in the dark. I feel that I can't turn my life around from this destructive point. I humbly ask for your presence and your reassurance to help guide me.
13. God, please help me remember that when I feel lost, scared, alone, and feel that I can't go on, that you are with me. That you love me. That I have a purpose.
It may seem like you can't get back up once you experience the lowest of the lows that life has to throw at you. Hopefully, you can say these prayers when you wake up, throughout your day, or even when you go to bed and be able to see the immediate differences in your life.
After all, it has been said that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.
You've got this.
