5 Prayers for help in times of difficulty

That a child of God does not have difficulties is only a thought to dispel. The righteous will have tribulations, many. But what will always determine the way of the righteous is his belief in life and life in abundance. The hand of the Lord will always be present on his way and he will never distance himself from it even when the enemy tries to distract him from the path of the saints. Just raise your voice to heaven and the Lord will come to your aid. If you don't know what to say, these 5 prayers can help you.

Prayer 1

God the Creator, your hand has thrown the stars into space and the same hand bends over me with a gentle touch. I don't have the strength to face the situation I'm facing, please support me with your right right hand. I don't know what to do, please help me. You say I don't need to be afraid or dismayed because you are my God and you are with me. Help me know your presence amid my circumstances and draw strength from you, Amen.

Prayer 2

O Lord, my God, you are my refuge and my strength. You are my ever present help in difficult times. When it seems my world is crumbling around me and I am tossed about by the storms of my life, take away my fear. When I am weak, you are my strength. When I am vulnerable, you are my refuge. When I cry for help, you will respond. Remind me Lord that you are always with me, you will never leave me or abandon me. For Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Prayer 3

Eternal God, you never fail to help your people. Throughout history we have seen you act with love towards your children. When they shout at you, you listen and respond. When they fail and walk away from you, don't turn your back on them. In this difficult time, give me a steady mind and fill me with peace as I place my trust in you. With you I will not collapse like a house built on sand, but I will stand firm with my feet on you, eternal rock. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer 4

Lord Jesus Christ, you are the name above any other name. Your name is like a fortified tower where I can find safety and protection. When I am troubled, I can find peace in your name. When I feel weak, I can find strength in your name. When I feel overwhelmed, I can find rest in your name. When I am surrounded by pressure from all sides, I can find stability in your name. Your name is beautiful, Lord, help me trust you, Amen.

Prayer 5

Heavenly Father, you are my strength and my song. You are worthy of all my praise, whatever my circumstances. When I look at Jesus' death and resurrection, I see the greater victory that has already been achieved on my behalf. I pray to find confidence in that victory and to live my life in the light of your love, no matter what happens around me. Help me Father, Amen.
