What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

March 15, 2026
Lord, what are the things I need to work through? Will You help me?
I want to be a healthy man.
I want to be a good husband.
I want to trust in You more.
I think in many areas I am not fully trusting in You.
Will You help me to surrender my control of things to You? To hand over anything I do not need to be carrying?
You are the source and You grow the fruit. Help me to remember my place.
Lord, You are good.
Where I feel jealous and insecure, help me to turn to You.
Where I feel devalued, ignored, or inadequate, help me to see my identity in You.
Where I am afraid or letting fear in, help me to hide in You.
Fill me with Your love, so that I can genuinely love others.
Put Your heart in me, for mine is feeble and fickle.
Open up my dull, inattentive ears, and my hazy eyes.
Help me, Lord! I need You!
Let today be a day of renewing and refreshing, fill my soul, feed and nourish me please!
I want to be obedient to You.
I want to please You, Lord.
I want to honor You and do the work that you have called me to well, Lord.
Strengthen me. Overwhelm my feeble feelings and insecurities with Your great love. Let me turn to You in all things.
My heart is Yours.
Amen.
