Prayer for Strength

I know this may seem a bit selfish, but my wife has just found out she is pregnant with our second child and the reason I am requesting help from everyone is because I need more strength to carry on my daily life. I pay a great deal of money in child support to my daughter from a broken marriage and our financial resources are very, very limited. I work 50+ hours a week and I am getting tired, though I know I need more than ever to put my complaints aside and take care of my wife and children. It is getting harder and harder to sleep and then wake the next day to go to work. I hope for a healthy baby and I need strength to continue to take care of my family. In the name of Jesus, please grant me the strength not to become overwhelmed and give me the ambition to work harder to care for my family. I hope you all understand what I am asking for in prayer.
Thank you in advance.

Lord Jesus, indeed to stay awake and to live happily throughout the day might be a challenge for some. Indeed, we managed to face the day with greater confidence because we have you, "The Lord watches over those who love him -Psalm 145:20-". Thank you for the day you have given to each and everyone of us, indeed, today is the day the LORD has made and we will gladly rejoice in it.

Jesus, may you bless Malcom so that no matter how hard he is working right now to support his family, he will not feel too exhausted or tired but when he is tired, may he learn to come to you and to be given rest in your name. "Come of all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest". As he works hard to make a living, may you bless him generously with the financial needed for him to live a more comfortable life. May you also take care of his family members as well as the unborn and let your peace and joy be with this family that you have put together in your name. Thank you Lord, Amen.

Knowing how hard you work to make a better life for your children (and future) children is such a gift to them. Thank you God for giving these children such a loving Father who cares enough to not only work hard for them but to worry that he will be able to handle the burden. You can, and God will give all the strength you need. Just lean on Him in times of trouble for you. May he give you peace of mind and bless you and your family. He has already blessed them with a caring and loving Father. So God please bless their Father and give him peace of mind.
