A Prayer for the Discouraged

Heavenly Father,

You are almighty.  You are sovereign.  You are all-powerful.  You are our provider!  God I come to you today, to intercede on the behalf of those who are hurting.  Your word says that You are compassionate; and that You are love.  We are instructed to cast all of our cares on You because You care about us.  So, God I ask that Your compassion and love envelop those who are discouraged.  I pray that they feel Your love God and are comforted by Your ever-present and ever-lasting love.  I ask that their hearts be opened to receive Your love.  I pray that You enable them to let go of the pain and worries they are holding on to.  I ask that You help them release their burdens and anxieties to You.  The word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength.  So God, please fill us with Your joy! And please fill us with Your Holy Spirit.  Minister to our hearts God! Lead our paths and direct our thoughts.

God, you are Jehovah-Rapha, our healer! By Your stripes we are healed.  God please pour out Your healing onto Your people.  Help us to receive Your healing.  Heal broken hearts.  Heal broken spirits.  Heal broken marriages.  Heal broken families.  Heal our bodies, Lord.  Re-direct our thoughts, so that we think pure, encouraging, and uplifting thoughts.

We are Your children Lord!  You love us more than we could ever love ourselves. You created us to be the salt and light of the earth.  So, I pray that the light of Christ shine through Your people.  You have good plans for us to prosper.  You did not create us to be depressed, fearful, nor anxious.  So God please destroy unhealthy strongholds in the lives of your people. Free us from the spirit of fear and discouragement.

I speak life into your people! I declare that their spirits will be revived and on fire for You! I declare that we are blessed in the cities and in the fields! I declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper! I declare that we are victorious! We are loved by You God! I thank You for Your love! I thank You for delighting in every detail of our lives.

In Jesus Name I Pray,

Amen!
