{Lenten Reflections} Prayer for Peace of Mind and Stress

There are just times when we feel so stressed our can't get peace of mind and we end up staying up all night and not getting the sleep we need. I won't deny that I always fall into that feeling over and over again. And when stress gets the best of me, I turn to prayer. Here are two other prayers I always recite when I feel troubled and can't seem to settle down. Hope they would help you as much as it has helped me. God ALWAYS listens.

This is the most famous Serenity Prayer. May it give you peace of mind whenever you feel troubled and anxious.

A Prayer for Peace of Mind
Almighty God, We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not that faithful to you.
Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives.
Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on.
Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus' name, Amen.
 Need to de-stress? A prayer would also be the perfect solution to that. Not even the most expensive ice cream can beat this. 

A Prayer to Heal Stress
Heavenly Father, please grant me peace of mind
and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like
a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance
so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the
strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose
and walk the path you’ve laid out for me. I trust
your Love God, and know that you will heal this stress.
Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of
night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God.
In your name I pray, Amen.

Cheers!

{Lenten Reflections} Prayer for Thanks

I know I am a little bit late with a supposed Lenten reflection posts. However, it is never too late to start. I believe that for as long as you are sincere about it, then it doesn't matter if you start late.

Anyway, for the next series of post (which will be shorter than this), I will be posting prayers that have helped me and I have proven effective. Please be reminded that it may not work for the first time. I did pray a lot of times before I was granted what I was praying for. Just keep the faith, and keep hanging on. Because He hears us.

For today's post, I share a prayer of thanks. This is because I have just started a new journey, a new job opportunity. And, God is definitely on my side. Not only did I get a great opportunity, some doors are still open for me. This is simple "Thank You Prayer to God, Just Because" which I got here. You can then add in what your are particularly thankful for, like as for me, my new job.

Thank you God for giving me another day, another chance to become a better individual, another chance to give and experience love. Thank you God for giving me health, for the food you provide, for the awareness you have awaken in me...Thank you for the energy that feeds my soul, the sun that warms our bodies and the air that fills our lungs... Because of you I believe in the good without the bad and the ugly, because of you I am learning to love and accept myself, because of you I believe in believing. My source, stay connected to me today and always, for I need you in order to fullfil my spiritual tasks...God, show me how to love myself, to be able to love others. Help me become the type of person that I would like to befriend, help me forgive myself and forgive others... God, make me a channel of your energy and help me understand. I thank you God for giving me another day, another unused opportunity to do it right. Keep us all close to you and listen to our prayers.Amen. 



Cheers!
