Jesus is always near and always listening. He hears what we say and what's in our hearts. Take a moment or two to share your thoughts with Him, ask Him for help, tell Him you love Him . Just take the time to talk to Him and remember to listen . We don't always want to hear what Jesus has to say. Sometimes the answer to our prayers is "no". So pray for strength to do what he asks you to do. I'll be praying for you too. If you don't know what to say, here are a few prayers to get you started. Really think about what they mean....... ******************************************** Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. When you need friends: Dear Jesus, You are a gracious and loving Lord. I don’t have any friends, and I really miss having them. Please bring some people into my life that I may share with them memorable times. Open my eyes to see the good qualities in people around me. Help me be the type of friend to others, as the type of friend I seek. I thank You, Heavenly Father. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Dear Jesus, I know you are the great counselor! I am in need of guidance, for I don’t know what to do. Help me to do what You want done in this situation. Please send someone to show me the steps I need to take. I depend on You, and I thank You, Heavenly Father. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Helpful Resources: Psalm 31:3; 25:9; 107 :7; Proverbs 3:5
| When you feel tempted: Dear Jesus, I know You are strong. I need help right now, because I am tempted to do things that I know are not good or appropriate for me. Give me strength to say ‘no'. Help me to find something else to keep myself busy in place of these activities. You are my strength in this, Lord. I thank You Heavenly Father for understanding all the temptations that face teenagers today, and what it takes to refrain from being lured in the wrong direction. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. When Your family needs prayer: Dear Jesus, I know You see everything and know how each situation turns out. I will trust in You. My family needs help. Show me what I can do to make life easier for them. Help my family find Your salvation so we don’t fight like we do now. Help me to show them You in my life. I thank You, Heavenly Father for your love and concern. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Dear Jesus, I look to You in my time of need. I don’t feel like I matter much to people in this world. My self-confidence is really low right now, and I don’t know where to turn. Do You really have a specific plan for my life? That is an awesome thought. Help me to see myself, as You see me. Teach me the things I need to learn to fulfill that purpose. I place myself into Your hands, because I trust in Your opinion of me. Thank You, Heavenly Father for believing in me. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Dear Jesus, I feel like giving up, for it seems there is no hope in me. I don’t want to go on. I don’t feel like fighting anymore. I need something to hang on to or I’m going to lose it. Show me again, Lord, how much You love me. Please, give me Scriptures that speak of Your promises for me. I’m very tired, and I need rest. I’m afraid of these thoughts about suicide. Protect my mind, Lord, and clear my head. Help me to think good thoughts about the good things in my life. Remind me of Your goodness to me. I will keep my thoughts on You and praise You. I thank You, Heavenly Father, for reaching down into my world and drawing me close to You. Thank You for allowing me to soak up your strength during moments like these. I’m clinging to Your strong arm this hour. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
