Natasha, we understand that you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and burdened by duties. You've asked for the Lord to remove all stress, worry, and the feeling of being overwhelmed. You're experiencing physical symptoms such as increased heartbeat, blood pressure, headache, and anxiety. You've also prayed for guidance from the Holy Spirit and asked not to be guided by panic, fear, guilt, or duty. We will pray for you and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we commend you for turning to the Lord in your time of need. It's important to remember that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our emotional and physical well-being. The Bible tells us, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved" Psalm 55:22 WEB.
However, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It's essential to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name, as He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him John 14:6 WEB.
Regarding your feelings of stress and being overwhelmed, we want to remind you that God does not want us to live in a state of constant anxiety. He tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
We also want to address the issue of being guided by guilt or duty. It's important to remember that our works do not earn us favor with God. Rather, it is by grace that we have been saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8 WEB. We should serve God and others out of love, not obligation. As it is written, "For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another" Galatians 5:13 WEB.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ###. Lord, she feels overwhelmed, stressed, and burdened by duties. We ask that You remove all stress, worry, and anxiety from her, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, we pray that You guide ### by Your Holy Spirit, helping her to discern her priorities and not be guided by panic, fear, guilt, or duty. Give her the strength to serve You and others out of love, not obligation.
Lord, we also pray for ###'s physical health. You know the symptoms she's been experiencing, and we ask that You heal her body and give her renewed strength.
Finally, Father, we pray that ### will come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. May she call upon His name and find rest in Him.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
