Prayer – This Too Shall Pass!

Finding Strength Knowing This Too Shall Pass

Heavenly Father, in the midst of life’s storms and challenges, I come to You seeking solace and strength. I am reminded of the timeless truth that “this too shall pass.” In moments of difficulty and uncertainty, help me to remember that these trials are but temporary when compared to Your eternal faithfulness.

Grant me the grace to endure, knowing that in every season, You are with me, Your love is unchanging, and Your purposes are steadfast.

In times when I am overwhelmed, remind me of Your past faithfulness in my life. Just as You have carried me before, I trust that You will carry me again.

Wipe my tears. Ease my pain. Strengthen my heart, Lord, that I may face each challenge with courage and the assurance that You are working all things for my good.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Seeking Peace and Perspective in God’s Presence

Oh Lord, in the midst of these trials, grant me Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help me to see my situation from Your perspective, to understand that this too is just temporary, and is simply part of a greater plan for my life.

Let me find rest in Your presence, where fear, pain and anxiety are replaced with peace and hope.

Teach me to lean not on my own understanding but to trust in Your sovereign will. In these times of confusion or despair, guide me back to Your Word, which is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

May I draw strength from the promises You have given, knowing that Your word is true and Your compassion never fails.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Embracing Hope and Resilience in Adversity

Gracious God, instill in me a spirit of hope and resilience as I navigate through this challenging phase. Let me be reminded of the countless ways You have turned trials into triumphs, both in the lives of Your people throughout history and in my own life.

Help me to see this time as an opportunity to grow in faith, character, and dependence on You.

Encourage my heart, O Lord, to find joy even in the midst of hardship and stress. Let me not lose sight of the hope I have in You – a hope that is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

Teach me to embrace each day with a spirit of gratitude, knowing that You are with me, refining me, and preparing me for greater things.

Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

Renewing Trust in God’s Perfect Timing

Heavenly Father, as I affirm that “this too shall pass,” renew my trust in Your perfect timing. Help me to understand that Your timing is always best, even when it differs from my own expectations.

May I find comfort in the knowledge that You are the God who makes all things beautiful in their time.

In this waiting, let my faith be strengthened and my trust deepened. May this period of waiting be a testament to Your faithfulness and a witness to others of Your unending love and grace.

Oh Lord, I place my trust and hope in You, confident that this too shall pass. I am grateful for Your presence, Your love, and the peace that You provide in every circumstance. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
