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

A Prayer of Dependence on God, when the World Seems To Be Overpowering
There are moments in life when the heart grows weary from its own struggles, weaknesses, and battles. No matter how strong we appear before othe
rs, deep within we recognize our need for God’s guidance, mercy, and transforming power. Human strength alone is often insufficient against the pressures, temptations, and uncertainties of this world.

True spiritual growth begins when a person humbly acknowledges their imperfections before God and willingly surrenders every burden, desire, fear, and weakness into His hands. It is through surrender that we allow God to shape our hearts, strengthen our spirit, and guide our steps according to His will.

This prayer is a cry for divine help, protection, guidance, and inner transformation — a heartfelt desire to walk closely with God despite human weakness and the 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!
