Become my shelter oh Lord and offer me rest.

With the weakness in my heart and mind, become my pillar --be with me in sunny days and bleak nights, and in my happiest moments and anxious worries.

In Your Holy name, Amen.

I come before you, carrying the crosses that I am given for growth. I have been struggling and have been doubting the purposes of these crosses. I feel overwhelmed by the idea that I am not enough when these crosses are too heavy. Please help me to trust in your presence and to find comfort and strength through your love.

Grant me (and fellow students) the strength to carry these crosses with utmost courage. Give us the wisdom we need to see its purpose. Grant us the patience that we need to endure these crosses. Give us the grace to choose joy over sorrow. Fill our hearts with peace and love, gently reminding us that we are to conquer our crosses altogether.

Thank you for being my refuge and the source of my strength. With you, I trust that all our crosses will be conquered, and we shall see growth after.

Amen.

The crosses I bear weigh heavy on my heart. I am regretful of past mistakes, overwhelmed by present responsibilities, and lost without a clear future.

I often struggle to see beyond the pain and difficulties they bring. But I know, Lord, that these crosses are not meant to break me. With faith in You, I choose to see them as opportunities for growth, as paths leading me closer to Your will.

I entrust to You my worries, my fears, and the struggles that sometimes seem too heavy to bear. Lord, You know the depths of my heart and the challenges I face.

Lord, grant me the grace to embrace these crosses with faith, love, and courage. Fill me with Your strength when I am weak, with Your peace when I am anxious, and with Your wisdom when I am lost. Help me to see the purpose in my pain and to trust in Your greater plan for my life. Help me respond to Your call with complete trust and compassion for others.

Guide me, Lord, as I journey through this life, carrying my cross with the hope and confidence that You are always with me. I entrust my life, my crosses, and my heart to You, trusting that all things will work for my good and Your glory.

I praise you for giving me the strength to carry these crosses. I thank you for the opportunity to carry on Your will. This I pray, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

I have been struggling lately especially ever since the school year started because I have dealt with many situations where I have no one to turn and talk to. I give my stress, my anxiety, my fears. Please help me carry this burden so that I will not be so discouraged in the future. Forgive me for my immaturity and irresponsibility on not knowing how to deal with my crosses. Please continue looking out for me throughout my struggles. Continue to guide me towards the right path. In Jesus' name, amen.

This I pray, in Jesus name, amen.

I know that we are supposed to be loving persons not only to other people but to our own selves as well, but with the way I am dealing with my crosses, I'm not sure whether there's enough love there.

But please know that I am trying. Please give me the courage to accept your guidance. Knowing that there is someone loving Father that believes in me is already empowering- and I hope that with this support I may find myself ready to surrender to the sweetness of life, if only I allow myself to taste it.

I ask of you to give me the courage to live fully.

In the midst of the heavy crosses I carry right now, grant me the strength to continue to put my trust in You. Help me bear my burdens and guide me through the challenges I am facing. Grant me the strength to open myself to receiving your grace. Fill me with courage when I feel apprehensive about my future, peace when my thoughts overpower me, and wisdom when I am uncertain.

Amen.

I have been faced with a lot of uncertainties recently. Being in this school means that I am always on edge with my grades and my ability to socialize. You have sent me blessings in the form of my friends that allow me to breathe, and in the form of people that find value in sharing their happiness with me.

Please allow me to keep this peace and to cultivate it into the strength that I need to let myself grow and go through these challenges. I pray that you allow me to find myself and my purpose even through these hurdles.

Amen

Thank you for always being a comforting presence in my life, especially when I'm faced with challenges.

Please give me the strength to keep persevering in bearing the crosses I face each day, no matter how small they are, and that I will never fall into the temptation of giving up. Oftentimes I have trouble fixing my mindset to be one of determination and drive to perform my responsibilities. I know that I can't do this alone, and I seek encouragement and motivation from you.

I pray for your continued guidance in everything I do in the future.

In Jesus's name, Amen.

Life has gone through tremendous changes and I offer to you my being.  Despite the challenges and pressures I may have encountered, I believe in your guidance and presence that will allow me to be wise as I move forward. I believe that everything happens for a reason and under you will. As your follower, it is my responsibility to fulfill your gift of life in your accordance. Your crosses are my crosses, thus will do my best to live in the image of you.

I see in this world its beauty and its ability to be something amazing. Yet I also find things I struggle to conceive; things that bring me anger, jealousy, an experience which changes me. I hope to be able to entrust my life to this destiny that You believe in. Whilst each cross is none the same in its weight, I hope to receive the compassion to see each one as valid. In a world such as this one, I want to be graceful in goodness, for my sake, and the sake of others who can find peace in recognizing how the struggles of their crosses might be shared amongst the people You find beautiful.

We come to you to give us the strength as we carry our crosses. Help us as we gather the wisdom in navigating through the struggles that we encounter. I know that there were moments where we could have taken things for granted and forgot your loving presence, and we ask for your forgiveness.

I know that I have not been strong lately, wherein my worries and failure would bombard my thoughts, with this I pray that you may give me the courage to fight through these battles and not give in to such temptation. I believe that you would never give us something that we cannot handle, thus help us to learn to trust you whole heartedly. Amen.

I have struggled to be a little less hard on myself. In times, I find myself struggling to keep my smile. I entrust you this struggle as you lead me to finding peace again in life. As days go by, I hope you'd keep me from being consumed by the endless strings of thoughts that plague my mind and please heal my heart and give me the strength to live out your will.

Some crosses that I am carrying is the academic and social pressure in college. Holding high positions in my student organization, I often have difficulties in balancing my leisure and work life leading me to feeling less peace. I need your wisdom, strength, and guidance for me to be able to sustain myself until the end of the schoolyear. I need you by my side for strength.

Thank you Lord, Amen.

As a semester begins, I worry about the uncertainties of life. I worry about whether I will be able to fulfill my goals and live out a meaningful semester. I know that there is no life without its challenges. With this, I humbly lift these challenges up to you and ask for your guidance as I take the necessary steps to tackle each one. More than that, I offer to you my efforts to seek out a meaningful life, working towards more than just material goals. In my journey to seek out fulfillment in life by helping others maximize their potential, I hope to offer not only my struggles, but my triumphs as well.

Amen.

Dear Lord,

I stand before you to pour the anguish, sorrow, fear, and anger that dwells in my heart. I reveal all of my fears, resentments, regrets, and insecurities before you with the hopes of releasing myself from the chains of it. Lord, I entrust you with my life and I apologize for everytime that I doubt your grace. Let your will be done, oh Lord.

I ask for your guidance for leading a lost and vulnerable child like me. Protect me from evil, especially from those that are a product of my mind. Protect me, especially if I can't even protect myself from me. Lord I know you have planned a good life for me, for my friends, and for my family. Allow me and guide me to be patient as everything is revealed to me, one by one and allow trust and love to fill my hearts and minds.

All these ask through you Lord, and in the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.

my life has been filled with so many crosses -

Past friendships, tense relationships with parents.

The anxieties in my life, to burden parents, disappoint peers, failing to submit what is needed for requirements, plagues my life continuously.

Please help me overcome these.

I'm lost, confused, and frustrated with my life's current vision and direction. After all the struggles and challenges I've been through since the start of the semester, I pray, Lord, that you brighten and light up my path once again so I can see clearly what life has in store for me. I have so much passions and dreams, and I don't know where to start after what has happened, so I always pray for clarity and guidance.

Now, I dedicate my life and the crosses I've carried all along, as I know that you have a plan that is so much better than mine. I entrust my whole life to you, Lord, as I have limits that only you can fulfill. When life gets tiring, I hope that you will always allow me to see the positivity in it. May the start of my 20s be full of joy, happiness, peace, and fulfillment. May you take away all the fear and disappointment in my heart Lord, and may this school year be a comeback year and a great school year of balance between my academics, dreams and pleasure.

I end my prayer by saying how my life verse has proved me once again, "The Pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming." (Romans 8:18)

I lay myself to you once again Lord, may your will be done and may you always be by my side, Lord, Thank you for everything <3

Amen

I ask for your guidance as I navigate this point of my life as a student where I am faced with making important decisions that greatly impact my future. I pray that you enlighten me so that I may be able to follow the path you have created for me. I ask that you guide me through every decision I make, every exam I take, and every class I attend so that I may be able to give my all at all times. I also ask that you help me carry the cross of feeling lost on what I want for myself and always feeling demotivated to do the things I have planned for myself and for my future.

Amen

Aid me in giving myself grace, and in reminding myself that greatness comes from what I do with the hand I am dealt, rather than having to be the absolute best all the time. Please give me the strength to show up everyday -- and to show up with my best, while staying in good health all the way through.

A cross I am carrying is being too hard on myself. It's so difficult to not put so much pressure on myself because everything I do is for my loved ones. I want to feel like I am enough.

Please bless me with your grace to learn how to be kinder to myself. To be more forgiving of my own mistakes. I hope You can share this burden with me and give me the reassurance that I need to get through this.

Thank you for continuing to be there for me throughout all my hardships. Please continue to grant more blessings. Amen

I still find myself far from where I want to be. There is a restlessness that echoes inside me that I struggle with, I always feel so pressured and so anxious to be competent and composed. I find it more difficult each day as I continue to get overwhelmed and doubt my capabilities. While I always try to keep a positive outlook to find more opportunities to grow, it's starting to take its mental toll on me.

I ask once again for guidance in these moments of darkness and doubt. Please bless me with the perseverance to keep fighting not only for myself but for the people I love. I believe that you are here, always watching me and everything I need to get through is already here, I just need to fight it within.

Amen.

Amen
