Lord Jesus,
I am having doubts that even though You and the Father are one, that You are my Lord and Savior. I have been having these doubts for years. As a matter of fact, I have doubts about a few things. I need to know about strengthening my faith. I ask for forgiveness, for I have little faith. I also lack wisdom. I thank You that You give wisdom liberally and I ask for it as well. I realize that I am struggling, but I have a hard time seeing that You are greater than. I also need to realize that with You, all things are possible. Lord, I also ask that You will help me to focus on what I have instead of what I don't have. Help me to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness and to not be anxious, worried, or afraid.
In Your name, Jesus,
Amen

Battles of my mind
Lord Jesus,
Your word says to be carnally minded is death. I am not sure if that it is what I have been. I realize that I will have to work extra hard to not be anxious and to be ever mindful of my actions. To top it off, sometimes being aware of my settings is not easy either. Lord, show me the difference between all of this and being carnally minded. Sometimes I have been led by my anxieties and fears. Other times, I know that You are speaking to me. I want to know that difference. Guide me into walking Your way free from all distractions. My mind is in great need of calming down. I realize that I can differentiate between reality and what is not real. It is has been however, difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood, and fact or fiction. That is what has been going on in my mind. Is this a medical or a spiritual issue? Regardless, I must fight for my sanity and most of all my soul? Help me to use those tools that You have given me. I sometimes feel weak and powerless and I have no clue. Lord Jesus, help me.
In Your name, Amen.

Motivations and having OCD
Lord Jesus,
I ask that You will help me to be a salt and light to the world. I know that I cannot save, only You can. You died on the cross for us all. Thank You. I ask for guidance in this manner. I would like to know how to be a witness to others. As a matter of fact, I am not sure what I need to do. One time, I even wanted to be a missionary. Like everything else, it didn't pan out. Maybe I wasn't cut to be a missionary. Maybe my reasoning was genuine. Whatever my goals, I want to do things for the right motives. I want to serve You, Jesus, all the days of my life. I don't trust myself at all because I don't want trust my motives. I am sorry for not praying to You earlier. I wish I had. I realize that I should have prayed about any impure motives that I have. Forgive me for all of my sins, including motives that were not genuine. I want to be a genuine person, a genuine Christian, and a genuine child of Yours. I put all of my trust and confidence in You.
I feel like the stress of living in this world is stressing me out, if that made any sense to me. Stress is something that I cannot live with at times. One thing that is causing me stress is uncertainty. I have OCD, as You obviously know. I wish that I didn't have this problem. This problem has made me question my motives. It also makes me question quite a few things. I have been having doubts that I am saved. It is as if I have to say the right words to be saved. I need assurance from You. There are times when I don't even know who I am as a believer. It is hard at times. It can be and it is scary. You are the God of Truth. I thank You that You and the Father are one. Who am I? If I were to die tomorrow, where will I end up? I sometimes worry about dying because of this, when things are severe. I think of the end times, especially during the moments when I become aware. Awareness, and You of course, have been wonderful for me. I ask You for help and healing in all things.
I give You thanks.
In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

Light burdens
Lord,
I thank You that You have the ability to carry my burdens. I also thank You for Your burdens are light. I realize that I have been carrying those burdens for some time now.

Lead me not into temptation. Deliver me from all evil. Strengthen me in these perilous days and times. Lord, may I never lose heart. I thank You for answering this prayer,

I'm sorry, Lord.
Lord Jesus,
I thank You for saving me. You have given me the assurance that I am saved. You have filled me with Your Holy Spirit, who shall teach me all things. He has taught me quite a few things today. I am doing so much better now because I have been forgiven. I have thus repented of my sins. I know that I am a person who will still sins, and that is so sad, but I have an Advocate who forgives sins. I also realize that I must not make it a habit to commit deliberate, habitual sin. I believe sometimes, that is the issue with me. I have done things that I know I have been forgiven for, but I still struggle with from time to time. I realize that I cannot do it alone. I ask that You, Lord Jesus, heal me and cleanse and forgive me of these sins for every time I have committed these sins. I still have the images in my head and it can be hard to get rid of them. Lord, I ask for a renewal of my mind, that I may be transformed by said renewal. I am sorry for all of my sins. I ask that You would remove my transgressions from me. I know that You love me for You died on the cross for me and that the Father rose You from the dead. I believe that with my whole heart and I love You and continue to, love You with my whole heart, mind, and strength.
