Jesus, there are many challenges ahead of me. Please guide me on my road to victory. Please help me keep myself physically strong, mentally aware, and morally strong. With the many things in my future, I hope to be happy and powerful, and I hope to share that with others. Currently, I am entering a speech contest, and I've been wanting to be victorious for years. I am going to a new school where the curriculum is challenging and vast. I am furiously competing with rivals that anger me intensely. I am facing many tests and exams at school, one of them tomorrow. I am battling a selfish addiction. I am looking for some more true friends. I am involved in violent sports. I am facing fear and envy. I am learning about my spiritual extensions and powers you gave me and about how to use them. I am quietly seeking romance. I am living with a nervous wreak for a mother and a level 2 bi-polar father. I am witnessing those who were beneath me overpowering me. I am faced with grades that make me afraid and sad. I am alone with many burdens to take (not counting you, my Lord). I am waiting for various wishes to come true. I am not thinking before I speak and before I do something in class. I let my temper get the better of me and I don't realize it. I say things that hurt others, even when I don't want to. I am neglecting self-control. I am watching one of my best friends fall to the dangers of lust. My other best friends are swearing and gossiping. Jesus, please save me from this pain. My life is becoming a disaster right before my eyes. Save me, Savior of the world. For by Your cross and resurrection, You have set me free. Please answer to my request now Jesus! This is very important! If my life doesn't change and if these bad things aren't fixed with your help, the precious life you gave me will be completely ruined! I am sorry for sounding desperate, but unfortunately, my God, I am. I am hurting, my God. Please save me. Like all other desperate attempts to make my life better, I ask this prayer to be answered and initiated in the name and divine power of Jesus Christ, servant of Y_hw_h, descendent of David, my friend and brother. And, Jesus, please, help me to hear your voice and see your face.
-Amen
