Emotional Stability Prayer

"Lord", You have told me in Your Word to press on for the prize that Christ Jesus has called me heavenward, but many times my feelings don't match up to what your promises tell me. Please align my feelings with your heart. Amen!

Philippians 3:12-14 (Amplified Bible) 12 Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. 13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

Prayer for a positive mind

Dear Lord, Your truths are positive and uplifting. Please deliver us from the worlds philosophy that says: "If we don't expect anything to happen we won't be disappointed when it doesn't." Doubt and unbelief wars against our minds! Thank you for setting us free from negative and wrong thinking, delivering us from satan's attacks in this area! In Jesus name, Amen! Based on Matthew 8:13

Matthew 8:13 (Amplified Bible)  Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant boy was restored to health at that very  moment.

My prayer for a peaceful heart

Lord Jesus, in our lives and in this world it’s hard to have peace with so much going on around us. Yet, You have promised us peace no matter the circumstances in our lives or in this world. Thank you for your peace that is greater than this world! Amen.

John 14:25-27 (AMP)
²⁵ I have told you these things while I am still with you.
²⁶ But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
²⁷ Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
1 John 4:4 (AMP)
⁴ Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.

Be Anxious for Nothing!

Lord, Your Word tells us to be anxious for nothing, yet anxiety tries to creep its way into my heart at any given time. Help me Lord to trust Your Promises in Prayer with expectations which will bring me great joy.

Philippians 4:4-9 (AMP) ⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice! ⁵ Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]. ⁶ Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. ⁷ And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. ⁹ Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.

My Help, My Trust!

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand). I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I (confidently) trust! Psalm 91:1,2. So, how do we win the battle against worry, fear, and anxiety? The answer is found in these couple of verses of Psalm 91. First, we must "dwell", which means "to remain...to settle...to continue...sit (-down)." This is the same word Jesus used in John 15:4 when He told His disiples, Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. (Live in Me, and I will live in you.) Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. Second, we must dwell in the secret place of the Most High, meaning a hiding place, a place of protection, a place with a covering over it so we will be kept safe from all our enemies. And third, we must remain under the shadow of the Almighty, meaning we must make the Lord our Refuge and our Fortress, leaning and relying on Him and confidently trusting in Him. As we do these things, He will deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. "Amen!" GOD HAS IN HIMSELF ALL POWER TO DEFEND YOU, ALL WISDOM TO DIRECT YOU, ALL MERCY TO PARDON YOU, ALL GRACE TO ENRICH YOU. Thomas Benton Brooks (1609-1680).
