Prayer for Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders

God’s Word reminds us that His peace surpasses all understanding and can guard our hearts and minds. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6-7). Through prayer, we can invite His calming presence to help us release control and trust in His perfect plan.

Biblical Example

Martha was overwhelmed by her need to control and organize when Jesus visited her home (Luke 10:38-42). Jesus gently reminded her that only one thing is truly needed—spending time with Him. This teaches us to focus on God and find peace in His presence.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your perfect peace that guards our hearts and minds. I pray for those struggling with obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. Help them to trust in You and release their burdens into Your hands. Calm their anxious thoughts and remind them of Your unfailing love. Surround them with supportive people who will walk alongside them with compassion and understanding.

In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
