A Prayer for Emotional Wholeness

If you are emotionally exhausted from carrying hidden stress, constantly pouring into others, overthinking, or lacking making space to pour into yourself then pray this prayer:

Gracious God,

I come standing in the need of prayer. I pray that every morning that you grace me to wake up, that I wake up with a spirit of gratitude. I understand just how good and merciful you are Lord. Father may the draining, mental and anxious thoughts be replaced with thoughts of good, thoughts of peace, and thoughts of joy. May your gentle touch drive out any feelings I have of guilt, anger, resentment, regret, shame, or blame. May I understand that in order to decree your promises I can't live in the basement of my emotions. Although my past can never be erased, may I not be a prisoner to it. May your love continue to assure me that ALL things work together for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. I thank you that everything in my life that has or is causing me emotional distress is here to teach me, to grow me, and to groom me. I release it all now, in the name of Jesus. I will no longer carry what I should be casting for your word says, "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." And Lord for anything or anyone that I consider a loss-be it time, relationships, money, opportunities, or peace, I pray that you replace it or restore it with what you know will enhance my life and draw me closer to you. May I not grieve over what you removed and may I not consider it a loss with what you will restore. My mind is now clear and my emotions are now free. In Jesus name. Amen.

Daughter of God, I decree that you have the mind of Christ. I decree that you are not a prisoner of your emotions and negative thinking. I decree freedom in your mind and your emotions. You are loosed from the bondage of emotional turmoil. The Son has set you free and you are free indeed!
