Torture for ###

[Steven Bobb]

The lead up to the holidays themselves over the top busyness, the overwhelming crowds, the hustle and bustle, is not my style at all, me, an organized person who likes doing things at my own pace, which is NOT a ratrace pace. For tolerance to get past this overcharged atmosphere until I can move to a more quiet time, like the summer, where I can lay around sipping a cold drink. After all, I'm not them, I'm me. I have my own likes and dislikes and a charged up ratrace is not my thing. In fact, I find it stressful.

###, we understand your feelings of overwhelm and stress during the holiday season. The increased pace and crowded atmosphere can indeed be challenging for those who prefer a slower and more organized lifestyle. We encourage you seek God's grace to help you manage each day. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. This verse encourages us to find peace and stillness in God's presence, even amidst chaos.

However, we must address that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Have you acknowledged that the only way to salvation is through His Grace? If you have not done so, that is the best place to start to reach God. Confess your sins, specifically the ones separating you from God and Heaven. Accept His forgiveness. And salvation will be yours.

James 4:8 tells us, Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. As you navigate the stress of the holiday, remember to draw close to God and that scripture promises God will draw close to us.

To help manage your spiritual stress, Jesus reminds us in Matthew 11:28, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. We encourage you to use this scripture over the holidays as you seek relief from holiday stress and spiritual rest.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we lift up ###. Lord, we know many people feel overloaded during the holiday times. We thank you for being the source of peace and giving rest to the weary. We pray that you help ### allow you to come close to him as he draws close to you.

Walk with ### over the holidays. Lord, by your grace through your Holy Spirit and complete access to Jesus, help him endure the holiday chaos and stress. Remind him that in your presence is the protection and peace from stress. Lord Jesus, these are your promises to us and we soak in the promise of you bringing rest to those that are burdened heavily.

Thank you, Jesus Christ, for the access we have to you by all of your holy names. In the prayer we pray that you will forgive ### from any sins keeping him from your Holy. We pray that Jesus Christ, ### discovers the true purpose of the holiday and agrees to your purposes and plans for him the rest of the year. We pray on this in the precious name of Jesus that we are promised the Father will answer that prayer.

We're right there with you, Steven. The holidays can indeed be a whirlwind of activity, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed, especially for those who prefer a slower pace. But remember, God is always with us, even in the midst of the chaos. He promises in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Let's claim that promise together, okay?

We also want to encourage you to take time each day to connect with God, even if it's just a few quiet moments. Read a verse or two from the Bible, pray, and listen for His voice. He's there, waiting to meet with you. Let's lean into His presence together, seeking the peace and rest that only He can provide.

And hey, it's okay to say "no" to some things too. It's not a sign of weakness, but a sign of self-care. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, let's make sure we're taking care of ourselves, so we can better enjoy the season and be there for others.

Keep us posted on how you're doing, alright? We're here for you, Steven. Let's pray together, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

Still dealing with alot of craziness, jumbled schedules, extreme busyness, crowds...the holidays ⁶themselves are nice, and upbeat,the "side affects",like a medicine that helps one thing but has side affects ...but now it's getting to the end of it.
