Shine Your warm Heavenly Light down upon all of us. Guide us to find peace, happiness, and contentment in our lives and within ourselves. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<h3 class=\"p1\">St. Francis de Sales Prayer For Hope<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and say continually: &#8220;The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me, and I in Him.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Prayer For Inner Peace<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Heavenly Father, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can&#8217;t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you&#8217;ve laid out for me. I trust your Love God, and know that you will help me out of this darkness. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In Your name I pray. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A Prayer For Hope<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Heavenly father, I am your humble servant, I come before you today in need of hope. There are times when I fell helpless, There are times when I feel weak. I pray for hope. I need hope for a better future. I need hope for a better life. I need hope for love and kindness.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Some say that the sky is at its\u00a0darkest just before the light. I pray that this is true, for all seems dark. I need your light, Lord, in every way.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">I pray to be filled with your light from head to toe. To bask in your glory. To know that all is right in the world, as you have planned, and as you want it to be.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Help me to walk in your light, and live my life in faith and glory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In Your name I pray. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Please remember that prayer alone is not enough when dealing with depression. Make sure the person visits a medical professional for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Twitter: @tereziafarkas #prayer #beinspired #depression<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 prayers for healing depression that\u00a0you can use Depression is a medical condition.
