Prayer for Peace in Anxious Times

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

Father, my mind has been anxious and my heart has been unsettled. Your Word tells me to be anxious for nothing and to bring everything to You in prayer with thanksgiving. So I bring You every worry now, one by one.

Thank You that You hear me and that You care. I ask for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus.

Quiet the what-ifs. Calm my breathing and settle my thoughts. Help me to focus on what is true, lovely and good. I choose to trust You today.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
