Grant me the strength to persevere, the understanding to see the lessons You seek to teach me amidst these trials, and the wisdom to apply them in my life. May your love permeate my being, casting out all fear, worry, depression, and every thought which does not align with your word.
- Declutter my mind and fix my thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.
- Equip me with patience for my journey, perseverance in setbacks, and an attitude of gratitude in all situations.
- Allow your peace to rule in my heart, calming the storm within and ushering in mental tranquillity and stability.
In my weakness, Lord, Your strength is magnified. By Your mercy, may my mental illness be transformed into a testimony of Your miraculous healing, power, and unfailing love.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
