Pray This When You Feel Overwhelmed And Restless

This prayer reflects the shift from self-reliance to stillness in God’s presence, as shared by Karin Hadadan. In Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon echoes this call to pause, rest, and trust God daily. Read on to be reminded that real strength comes from resting in Him.

When relying on ourselves leaves us drained, we must pivot back to a place of stillness and faith. Rather than pushing harder, let’s choose to rest in God’s presence and be renewed. Join me as we seek His strength in prayer.

Dear God,

Sometimes I tend to rely on myself rather than you. But I no longer can live this way, so I’m asking you to help me embrace repentance and rest. Allow me to find time for stillness, and in moments where I get anxious, help me to trust you and cultivate deeper patience.

I confess that I often choose striving over stillness, and busyness over being with you. But I trust that your way overpowers my human solutions, and that you will provide salvation through rest instead of me striving. Thank you for your patient invitation to find my strength in you.

Amen.
