A Prayer When One Feels Weary and Burdened

Lord, today I lift up ___. Thank you that your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Thank you that you promise to give ____ peace when she feels worried, hurried, pressured, and stressed out. You give rest and peace for her soul. Thank you that you already know all that concerns her, and you care. I know she’s grateful for your reminder that she doesn’t have to carry it all on her own. Forgive her for the times that she’s tried to fix things through her own power, for not taking the time to rest, or not coming to you first with her needs and burdens. Thank you for the refreshing that can come to her from your Spirit, filling her with joy, covering her with a shield, leading her forward with hope. Help her to slow down, take the time to hear from you, and lead her to a higher place.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.
