A Prayer Against Sadness

Peaceful, Loving Father, I humbly ask that you heal this ache in my heart, Oh Lord. Allow me to find that joy that I once knew. The sadness of my heart consumes me. But I will not give in, for I am stronger than the mind games the devil tries to play on me.

Psalm 107:19-20 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

Psalms 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto you, and you have healed me.

I will not give up

Even though I am hurt and the pain lingers on each day, I will not give up, for the battle is already won.


This sadness sickens my soul. These tears that hit my pillow at night longs to see happiness once more and I pray that You will open up a way for me.

Psalms 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

Dry my Tears!

Sovereign Savior, my Gentle Jesus, my heart cries out to thee, Oh Lord, my God. Ease the hurt, relieve the pain, I release it unto You. These tears that fall and glisten, as the sun rises, long for that unspeakable joy they once knew.


Give me Strength to overcome this sadness

I need You, Lord, now more than ever. This sadness in my heart craves to find that wonderful joy only You can give and that peace that passes all understanding. My heart cries out to You.

Give me strength, oh gentle Savior. In Jesus’ name, love, joy, peace, and happiness will follow me wherever I go and this sadness within me will be destroyed, Amen and Amen!

Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.

  1. Heavenly Father,

    Today is one of those days that I cry, I hurt inside and I have no one to talk to but I know that God you are always there listening to my words and I thank you.
    I cry as I write this and pray Lord Jesus that the burdens be lifted and the hurt be washed away. I pray throughout the day for many different things, including just your presence in my life.
    I know God my prayers are heard and I just ask that you continue to help and protect my family and me as we go through our hurts and struggles.
    I Love you Lord oh God and I thank you for what you’re doing, what you’re about to do, and pray for your continuance in my life. Amen.

Also praying for my husband to find me that God has for me because l am tired of being alone.

    Reply

    1. I know what it feels like to be alone, most Christians would respond by saying you are never alone, Christ is with you. The truth is that while we are in this fleshly body, it desires intimate relationship. The prayers above are definitely encouraging, I reccomend listening to a sermon by Charles Stanley living above your circumstances. Because that’s what it’s going to take while you are waiting on God to answer your prayers. Hope this helps in Jesus name I pray…. Amen!

  38. Bless all of you. I have no answers. We all have our crosses to bear. And when one cross hits, then another, then another… it’s very hard to keep putting our faith (if we have one) in front of our worries. Sometimes there is no time to recoup when they hit back to back many times over.

    I know this first hand by receiving many crosses to bear, especially over the past 3 years. Trying each time to put them in the Lord’s hands before the next would hit. There was a final blow that caused me to have a heart attack. There were no blockages or parts of my heart not working. The doctors diagnosed me with, “Broken Heart Syndrome.” Also known as: “Stress induced heart attack.”

    All we can do is the best we can, when we can, wherever we can. Talking to people is comforting to know there are others out there carrying the same cross. Also, I have found that feeling sad is sometimes comforting; it causes me to be still and quiet.

    Take time to be kind. There is always time to be kind.

  39. Ever since a heartbreak 3 years ago, I have been sad, angry. I never thought I will end up like this now. I feel disappointed in myself and I can tell even my family is disappointed in me. How can I wear a smile when I am weeping inside?
    My little business isn’t doing well. I have lost money. I have no helper, nobody who cares about me. I feel mocked. When will God answer my prayers?

    1. Just lift it all up to the Lord. Surrender all your pain, heartaches, disappointments, everything… Only He can heal you. But be patient and have full trust in Him. Will be praying for you 🙂

  41. My name is Josean and I’ve been going through a lot and I believe in Jesus and God. Also, I just feel like I’m here all alone. For the second time, I’ve lost my family and just a few days ago I lost another brother who was shot and killed. I don’t know what’s in store for me but I am scared. I just ask that everyone keep me in their prayers. I’ve been homeless, lost my job and I’m to the point where I just want to give up completely.

    I’ve been through a lot. Shot in the head at 16 years old, I’ve seen death. I just wonder why am I still going through all this pain. I can barely bare this anymore. Idk what to do. I’ve lost everything that mattered to me. These tears won’t fix anything. At the end of the day, I’m still heartbroken and sad every night. I just ask that God comes into my life and help me. Show me the way, in Jesus name I pray, amen

  42. I am a Christian of little faith. I try to be good and follow my heart, but it has led me to do some “not so good things” in my life. I am a 34 year old male who has been homeless for a month. I became homeless when my EX had me put in jail (long story) for 3 weeks. I lost everything. My love, my daughter, my home and my job.
    Luckily I was a able to get my job back and have a home lined up soon. But I hit more walls on my path to recovering (an even longer story.) But the reason for this comment from me is because I feel I have suffered a great loss for the past 30 years. Parents divorce, sexually assaulted as a kid, drugs, death of a girlfriend in my arms, lost connection with family, leading to today…I have extreme depression, paranoia, anxiety, possible P.T.S.D. from everything that has happened.
    I try reaching out to GOD, I talk aloud on long nature walks explaining my feelings and my heartbreak asking for guidance, a smoother path, happiness, etc etc etc but it seems like I am unheard. I hear my own voice talking back to me asking myself questions, just to make it easier to talk aloud. I probably come off as schizophrenic but it’s never negative towards me. I’ve used that inner voice since I was a kid.
    But it feels like I’ve never been heard, ignored even. The things that are making me survive on the streets, I know are from my own strengths. The voice, also my own.
    Some would say that’s GOD working through me, than why a lifetime of pain? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to read a bible? Pray more? Beg for forgiveness for all my mistakes? What exactly? What lesson do I have to learn from all this? Losing everything and losing my mind to gain it all back? It would be easier if my faith hadn’t died a long time ago. I still know there is a force out there higher and greater than all of us, I am just to blind to see it in my case I guess. Sorry, for the long message.

    1. Please stay strong. Your story is not my story but I fell your pain. And we are his chosen ones. We will have a testimony that will blow our minds. The doors are opening and this is the season that we are going to another level. Just stay strong. It’s hard I know. Right now I’m broke, depressed and waiting on the lord for my breakthrough and it’s in the way. So rejoice. Love you all.

    2. Jay do not despair, do not give up, do not stop reaching out to your Heavenly Father because He does hear you and He will bring you though this time of hurt and pain. You have traveled a difficult path and for a long time but sometimes Jay that is what God asks us to do. He breaks us down so He can build us up again better than we were, its a little like being under construction. God demolishing a building then re-builds something new and pleasing to His eye. Sometimes we need to go through these stages so that we can receive the best God has for us in our lives. As I read your story its as if you we’re being stripped and there is a mass of broken pieces everywhere in your life. But as your heart and soul begins to get restored and reshaped, you are being healed Jay, you are being renewed, and when you have gotten rid of everything that has you bound, just like the new building, you will be new,whole and ready to walk in your true purpose for God. That is just how my heart sees Gods great Plan for your life and God is always faithful He will never break His promises. God Bless.

    1. Dear Tina, The Bible tells us that God does answer our prayers. John 16:24. But there are a few things we should remember…God’s answer may not always be what we were hoping for. His answer sometimes is simply “no.” And His answer might be something we’ll never really understand. In any case, His answer is always the best answer for us. He loves us so very dearly, and His answers to our prayers are always what we need …even if they are not really what we want. If you’re praying for something and it seems God does not answer, “please keep on praying” until God speaks to your heart and tells you to stop. Keep on praying until He says yes or no. God has an amazing plan for your life Tina and His plan will be reveled only in His time. I held you up today in prayer, that your studies will progress well, and that God will work though them to bring about a successful career. God Bless.
