Prayer In Times of Despair – When You Desperately Need God’s Help

Everlasting and Eternal Father, I need You every day, every hour, every minute. Pour out Your unconditional love upon my life. I ask that You bless and protect me today as I go out into this harsh and cruel world.

Psalm 143:4-6 So I am ready to give up. I am in deep despair. I remember the days gone by. Lord, I think about all that you have done, I bring to mind all your deeds. I lift up my hands to you in prayer; like dry ground, my soul is thirsty for you.

We are tired and weary

Today, Oh Gentle Lord, let me experience Your holy comforting presence, for I am tired and weary, and my spirit feels weak and filled with despair.

I am trying my best to keep pushing and moving forward, to take the next step. Jehovah Shalom, today I do not feel as witty or bright as most days. I feel like giving up.


Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

I surrender all

I surrender all to You. May I understand Your role for me in this journey, Oh Loving Lord. Help me to see the purpose behind Your plan.

Provide the grace, strength, and faith I need to take the next step to reach my destination. As I seek Your face, Lord guide me that I may walk and not faint.


Lift my weary spirit, so I can find rest and eternal peace within You. May I stand on mountains and walk on the stormy seas.

Give me that unspeakable joy to dance in the rain! In Jesus’ most precious name I pray, AMEN!!

Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Romans 15:13 – Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

  6. I want to give this wonderful testimony that God saved my life. Not only mine but my whole family. We were all so sick and two of my children tested positive for COVID-19. Four of us didn’t go for the test but all six of us were sick. We believed the word and decreed and declared healing on our lives even when it felt like no help was within our reach. God is faithful and His word is true. We all got well,though we still have some symptoms that are lingering but we are out of danger. We confessed healing in the blood of the Lamb. We believed in the finished works of the cross. We are still doing that and we are on our way to complete recovery. I feel I have to give this testimony to encourage others and also me as I recover. God is faithful and His word does good for us. Greater is He that is in us than the one in the world. Psalm 91 says it all as far as protection is concerned , for those that make God Almightytheir refuge. Thank you Jesus. We believe in You and please help our unbelief where we seem to lose that grip on faith. Hold us tight and fill us with undying faith. I am grateful in Jesus Mighty Name.
    Amen

  20. Dear Lord,
    Help me for I am in despair. All that is ever precious to me, is always taken from me. I have all my life tried to be good, to do the right thing and now others who have seen something that is in their own mind, seek to utterly destroy me..to take all that is precious to me, away. I know I must try to be strong to keep moving forward, but I falter at this time. Lord I pray for all mercies and that those who seek my destruction, will not succeed. I surrender myself to Thee.CS.

  21. My Father Almighty God, forgive me all of my sins. I commit the sins that I repeat over and over. I’m always coming to you to forgive me but after a few days, I can’t control myself to do it over and over again. I don’t love him as he is a married man, and I am a single parent but when I started to talk to him, I always forgot what I should do. Please, help me, I don’t know how to stop it. I don’t know how to say no. I need a companion sometimes. When I’m with him, I feel secure for a while. Forgive me, Lord, may God still blessed me and my family.

Don’t give up David, God has a plan and purpose for your life don’t listen or believe the lies the enemy is telling you God will help you you are forgiven he remembers your sins no more once you have asked for forgiveness and repented just keep holding on and believing in him who is able to aid you in going forward for and through him for his Glory.

    1. Maria, I pray that today their will be people in your life that will show you that you are not alone. God says that he will never leave you or forsake you and you are not alone….ever. but I know how it is to feel alone and so I will life you up and pray that God will allow those around you to show you that you are not alone and that God has a purpose and plan for your life. You were created with unique gifts. Ask God how he wants you to use them today. If you are depressed reach out to your doctor or get professional help.

My eviction notice is dated the 10th, I am in debt to my neck following radiotherapy sessions that cost me more than I had, I received a letter from my little boys school reminding me to clear fee arrears, I lost my job during down sizing…. oh, am so tired and overwhelmed.

Let me just tell you that when you walk with the Lord and feel his passion is the greatest gift that Jesus ever gave me. I understand him now. I was given just a a touch of his pain and passion. I now see the world through different eyes. May I spend the rest of my days for you Jesus.
