A Prayer of Dependence on God, when the World Seems To Be Overpowering

There are moments in life when the heart grows weary from struggles, weaknesses and uncertainties. No matter how strong we appear to others, but deep within ourselves we feel we need God’s guidance and transforming mercy. For human strength alone is insufficient to fight the pressures, temptations and uncertainties of this world.

Our spiritual growth starts when we humbly acknowledges our imperfections before God and willingly surrenders allowing God to renew our mind strengthening our spirit and guide our steps according to His will.

This prayer is a heartfelt desire to walk closely with God despite weakness and challenges of life.

I'm human Lord, but I always try

I have lots more of myself to surrender:

Take them away from me by force:

All my desires, my interests, and walks

Give me much of your overcoming being

Lord loving father, take control of my life

When the world seems to be overpowering, help me cling to your precepts

I want to be strong so that nothing can separate me from your love.

Fill my heart with your perfection and ways

Lord, I beseech you – be my friend and guide

Be the mother and father to me, you know I have none.

This troublesome world had so much against me

Help me, deliver me – bless my coming in and my going out

Thank you, Lord, for the time you granted me to pray

The courage I get from waking up alive and well.

It’s all because of you, Lord, my strength and hope,

Bless the day and lead me through,

Wipe off those traps before my reaching, Lord

All day remind me to be good unconditionally

Amen!
