Lord Jesus, Thank You for this day, which starts our week. I pray You align it with Your perfect will & guide us through the journey to accomplish what You set before us. I pray for those dealing with chronic pain. Forgive my sins, debts, & trespasses, as I forgive those who have done so to me. Lord, help me work through the issues in my mind. I try so hard not to live in fear, & I give them to You fully, but at times my own head is my worst enemy. The pain in my heart is sometimes self-imposed, & I'm not sure how to handle it, so I keep it inside where they fester like an infection. I pray You help me sort the real from the facade whispered to me by demons. Schizophrenia is hard, but I focus on You, & I'll try harder today to do just that. Sometimes I don't believe I'm schizophrenic. Sometimes I believe I'm taunted by the devil himself. Lord, I rebuke the devil & all of his demons in the name of my Lord & my Redeemer, Jesus Christ. I know that with You, & the mere whisper of Your holy name, the battle is won. They're relentless, though, Lord. For every demon defeated, it seems the devil sends 10 more. I know in the end, victory will always be Yours. I know these hard times are temporary, & I know that so long as I stay focused on the path You blazed for me, all will be good in the end. Lord, I pray You calm the storms in my heart & mind. I pray You lay Your hands on those of us who suffer in silence. Give us relief & ease the burdens that stifle the lessons. Lord, I depend on You more & more every single day. You are my relief & my Redemption. I am Your dependent son. In the Almighty name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen & Amen. Let's get it.

Lord Jesus, Thank You for getting me through another difficult weekend, for protecting me while I slept, & blessing me with this new day to try again, fresh. Thank You for the people around me, for those who haven't faded out, & for seeing those who are only around for their personal gain. Lord, I pray You protect me from the snares of those who want to harm me, remove the traps & the snakes who wait patiently to strike, & break every curse whispered against me. I thank You for every blessing, from the food on my table, the roof over my head, the people in my life, & even those unrealized or yet to happen. I pray You lay hands on those of us feeling the pain, You remove temptations from those struggling with dependency, & shield us from all that might sway us into weakness. Align this day, this path, this week, and today's work with Your perfect will. I pray all I do pleases You & reflects Your love & grace as I praise & glorify Your name at every opportunity. All success is a testament to Your divine power, and all shortcomings are on me. I rebuke the devil & pray that all demons be removed from me, my home, & my loved ones in the name of Jesus. You are my loving Shepherd. I am the son who was lost, but now I'm found. In the precious & merciful name of Jesus, I pray, Amen & Amen. Let's get it.
