How to Find Peace: A Prayer to Overcome Life’s Burdens

Dear Reader,

At times, we find ourselves trapped in life’s complicated situations. Everything seems to go wrong, and nothing feels right. There are problems we can’t even share with the people we love. In such moments, we feel extremely alone, and the entire burden of finding a way out falls on our tired shoulders. We search for light, but every attempt goes in vain.

However, even in these darkest moments, there is a way forward.

I discovered it recently, and perhaps you already know it in your heart. That way is to reach out to the Divine. You may call it God, or perhaps you believe in a greater energy that guides this universe. Whatever you call it, the act of surrendering your pain to something higher can bring incredible strength.

I invite you to read the prayer below, once, twice, or as many times as you need. Recite it until you feel the burden lift off your shoulders.

“O God, I can no longer fight my battles alone. I need Your help, Your love. Forgive me of all my mistakes. Cleanse my heart of all evil. Show me the way to peace and quiet and health and fill me with love even for my enemies.”
