When worry starts to set in, train us to counter it with gratitude by reflecting on your goodness to us. Grant us also the proper perspective to see where our concerns fit in over the timeline of eternity, so that we don\u2019t inflate their importance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill us with feelings of peace as we are reminded of your promise to work out <em>all <\/em>things &#8211; including that which stresses us out &#8211; for the good of those who love you. Finally, while we like to imagine ourselves at the wheel, controlling all things in our lives, remind us that you alone rule over the entire universe, from the small daily details to the less frequent large scale events. Therefore, whatever is on my plate today or any other day is never too big for you to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jesus\u2019 name I pray.
