You're the only one that can calm my fears and end my fretful behavior. Whenever I’m stressed, anxious, or afraid, help me remember to run to you. I know that when I pray and give thanks instead of worrying, you have promised that I can experience the kind of peace that passes all understanding. You bring good out of every circumstance if I'll only let go and believe you. Thank you today for every good gift you've given, every blessing you've sent, all the forgiveness I did not deserve, and, yes, for every trial you've allowed into my life. I surrender and admit: I can't control people, plans, or even all my circumstances, but I can yield those things to you, and focus on your goodness. I need more of you, Lord, and less of me. I may need to pray this same prayer daily, but I'm tired of the frenzy of life that leaves my schedule and my thoughts without any margin. I'm releasing the reins of my life again and asking you to take control. Most of the things I worry about or dread don't even happen. I know that trust is a big part of experiencing peace and that fear has no place in my life. Calm my anxious spirit, Lord all the attacking "if-only's" and "what-ifs" fill me with needless worry. I need your peace-the deep-down-in-your-heart kind that stays with me day and night and speaks confidently into the wind. Confusion reigns and defeat creeps in to steal my joy. Other times I'm caught in an endless storm, with thoughts flying out of control. Oh Lord, sometimes my insides feel like a battle zone, where missiles are falling too close to home. Bring peace into my soul that passes all worldly understanding and make me a light for others to see Your strength. I am claiming and declaring Your promises for blessings of peace and strength over my life. Lord, I come before you ready to pour out my worries, anxieties, and fears at Your feet. We lay our burdens before you, every single one, for we know they’re much safer in your hands than our own. Thank you that you have set us free and that you are bigger than anything we face in this life. We ask for your Mighty Power to surround us.
