A PRAYER FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM NOSTALGIA AND SLEEPLESNESS

O God of love, I thank You for this time of prayer. I thank You, O Lord, for Your loving act of guiding me. You know that I am interested in exploring the glorious things of the scriptures and that I am desirous of exalting Your name and sharing Your magnanimity. But I am very often disturbed by the events of the past. I am disturbed by the wrong decisions taken in the past. This makes me lose my sleep at nights. I magnanimously let forgo my property rights to my father’s properties to my brother who has in turn sold it for a meagre sum without enjoying the blessings of our ancestral properties. This has affected my mental state and I look for someone to pray for me. In this way so many things have taken hold of my thought process and I have lost my peace and sleep. This afflicts me. I am not able to come out of those distressing thoughts. I am not able to meditate on the verses of the Bible. At night times I eagerly long for the dawn. Even during daytime, my thoughts hover on subjects distressing and defeating. The past is distressing. I am not able to come out of it. In Isaiah 43:18 & 19, it is written: “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” But I struggle and stumble. Help me to come out of these captivating thoughts. Give me new thoughts. I want to live as Your child. Let me have thoughts of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I make this prayer, O Good Father. Amen.
