A Prayer For When You’re Feeling Stuck

Father God,

I’m spinning my wheels. I’m stuck in my tracks. I’m not where I want to be.

Help me, O Lord!

Show me first that in Christ I am always free. My soul is safe.

Let my strength and confidence come from you, O Lord. And if I must wait give me patience and grace. Prepare me for what is to come.

Break wide open the chains binding me, holding me back.

Strike down the enemy trying to tie me up with his lies.

Free my mind, O Lord, show me a new direction. Reveal to me again the right path in Christ Jesus.

Make me nimble and quick, decisive and sure. May your Spirit prepare the

way to new pastures and deeper joy.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

OR

Father God,

I don’t know what I’m doing.

And to be honest, that scares me. Father God I need a reminder of your love.

I feel stuck. Stuck in my relationships. Stuck in my work. Stuck in my home and life and all the things around me. I feel like I’m not making progress, or that I’m just standing still.

Please guide me.

Please remind me that every up and down I face is natural. I need to only look at you to see my worth.

When I start to take steps away from your light, pull me back to you. Give me strength and courage Father God. Give me eyes to see where you are leading me, and a mind that doesn’t fight. Ease my stubborn heart, my fearful thoughts. Surround me with your grace and mercy so that I no longer question who you are, but feel confident in each step.

Show me your greatness, show me your power and love. Take my spinning mind and calm it. Take my beating heart and hold it in your hands.

I want to walk with you. I want to feel secure in the life you’ve given me. I want to feel ready and prepared and loved as I begin to step forward with you.

Father God take this anxiety, this uncertainty, this feeling of purposelessness out of my heart and replace it with all things good, all things you.

You are my Father and I trust you.
