Lord, help me to live in Your joy and peace. Give me strength and understanding to resist
anxiety, anger, envy, depression, bitterness, hopelessness, loneliness, fear and guilt.
Rescue me when “my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed”
(Psalm 143:4). I refuse to let my life be brought down by negative emotions such as these.
When I am tempted to give in to them, show me Your Truth. You have said in Your Word
that by our patience we can possess our souls (Luke 21:19) Give me patience so I can do
that. Help me to keep my ‘heart with all diligence,” for I know that “out of it spring the issues
of life: (Proverbs 4:23).

‘The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The
LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” (Psalm 34:17-18)
