For Mental Health

Wonderful Counselor,
The month of May is recognized by many as a time to bring awareness to mental health. What a wonderful reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in body, mind, and spirit! As the crown of your creation, you created mankind in such a unique way, so that our physical, mental, and spiritual health are all interconnected. When any one area suffers, the others are affected. We thank you therefore, for those with expertise in mental health who desire to help others in this area. Bless them with knowledge and insight regarding how the amazing minds you’ve given us allow us to think and process, and how connected our thoughts are to our actions and general well-being. Since a secular approach to mental health will naturally lack the all-important connection to spiritual health, provide that awareness through solid spiritual leaders who are well-equipped to point people to your powerful promises. Then, Lord, use those gracious promises to provide a rock-solid foundation for many as the basis for resilient mental health.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Be Present

Omnipresent Lord,
Since you are not bound by physical limitations or boundaries, the promise of your presence by my side at all times is a promise that can be trusted. It provides me with comfort in any situation and confidence in carrying out what you have called me to do and to be.

I, on the other hand, can only be in one place at a time. Therefore, I pray that you make me more aware of my surroundings. Rather than becoming so easily distracted by one thing or another, help me to be present and in the moment. I don’t want others to perceive me to be too busy for them or disinterested in their story. Remind me to slow down and take time to embrace the rhythms of each day’s routine and the various seasons of my life. I want to give myself fully to you and to others, not withholding any gifts or characteristics unique to me that could be a blessing to others. Each one of us is gifted 24 hours every day to manage in a way that reflects our gratitude. Help me to make the most of that time by fully appreciating it over the course of each and every day.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
