Mat 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Mat 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Mat 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
Mat 6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
Mat 6:29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Mat 6:32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Mat 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

I don't have a prayer you can use, but I will sure put you into my prayers! Hang in there, sometimes life gets a little rough, but somewhere deep inside you'll find the courage to keep on going!

My god, My creator, My friend
I stand in this moment of life searching for who I am and who I want to be. Guide me so that I stay on your path. Be loud when you are opening doors for me so that I do not miss them. Be kind to me with the people you introduce into my life. [(followed by silent reflection until you feel you have been answered) usually I leave a candle lit for such a prayer and let it burn out on it's own]

Dear Lord: I will trust in You - through all trials and tribulations, I know that You are with me and will guide me. I know that You are the creator of all my circumstances, that You love me and want only the very best for me, that You have begun a good work in me, that You are faithful and trustworthy. Help me, Dear God, to go through the trials I must, knowing You are always with me. I will trust in You. Amen
Hang in there - you may have lost your job because God has a better one for you - it has happened this way to two of my friends, same with broken relationships. Hang in there!

Lord,
Help this person to find your purpose for their life. Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Help them to depend on Jesus, and know there is a better plan just around the corner.
Be a practicing Christian. Practice for Heaven.

You need your own prayer, from YOUR heart. Not something written by someone else for you to mindlessly recite.
Christ is the intercessor, not some priest. Pray to God through Christ according to your needs.

Just talk to God from your heart. Tell him everything you are feeling. You don’t need a specific prayer. Just talk to him. Ask for guidance.

Light a candle, sit quietly before it and focus your thoughts, then ask the Goddess (or whoever you prefer to ask) to illuminate your best possible path through this life.
