A Prayer for Mental Health

Your mind needs care just like your body does. This prayer asks God for peace, a clear mind and the help you need, whatever you are going through.

Lord, my mind has been struggling, and I’m bringing it to You.

You made me, body and mind. You know what is going on inside me better than I do, the parts I can name and the parts I can’t.

Give me a sound mind. Quiet the thoughts that are loud and unkind. Lift the heaviness that sits on me.

Lead me to the help I need, and give me the courage to ask for it. Bless the doctors, counselors and friends who care for me.

On good days, help me enjoy them. On hard days, help me be patient with myself, the way You are patient with me.

I trust You with my mind and my heart, Father.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
