For Peace of Mind

Loving Savior,
There is no Sometimes I feel like my life is a rudderless ship at sea, directionless and at the mercy of the elements around me. The demands of others on my time, the needs of my family, work obligations, and a general lack of direction in life leave me wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I get overwhelmed by not even knowing where to begin to make any changes or progress. On top of that, everyone around me seems to have their lives in order while mine is a chaotic mess.

Grant me, Lord, the peace and calm that come from taking a deep spiritual breath and remembering that my identity and station in life all flow from my faith in you. Remind me that, while I’m never really in control anyway, you are, and that’s enough for me. You know my needs better than I do, and promise to act in my best interest. Give me your servant heart, and simply provide me with the energy and zeal to work faithfully in carrying out the roles and responsibilities you’ve graciously entrusted to me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Manage My Emotions

Patient Lord,
This time of year can be one that is filled with tension and stress. On top of the normal daily to-do’s, there are additional deadlines and added responsibilities at home, work, and school. All of these factors provide ripe opportunities for impatience to creep in and for my temper to flare. 

I ask you, therefore, to help me be aware of all this so that I am actively managing my emotions well and not letting them get the better of me. As I sense my irritability levels rising and my patience running thin, I know I need to take control of my thoughts and redirect them to thoughts of peace and serenity. Place your Word and many rich promises on my heart at those times, so that I may find refuge in them even when everything around me feels chaotic and out of control. By your Spirit, keep me calm and in control of my thoughts and emotions. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Peace and Calm

Prince of Peace,
Be present with me when I am feeling anxious and unsettled. Sometimes when I experience these feelings, I know exactly where they’re coming from; other times, though, I can’t determine the source of them or understand why they spring up. Whether or not I know their cause, however, I know that you are the solution. 

When I feel like I am not in control of any given situation, calm my uncertainties with the assurance that you are. You promise to weave everything in my life for my eternal good. When I am worried, take my worry and make it captive instead to a stalwart trust in your providence over all of creation and in my individual life. Replace my worst-case scenario thinking with a fear-shattering faith that is eager to see the blessings you are able to bring out of every circumstance. Let my confidence of your governance over all things cover me with a blanket of peace and calm. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
