Heavenly Father, You are a God of peace. We are so thankful that You give us the ability to come to You with our troubles, worries, and concerns, and You lovingly grant us a peace that goes beyond our own understanding.
While we know we will come into places that bring on fear and worry, we ask that You stay with us and draw us close. Remind us that You will see us through. Be our safety net in times that bring on confusion and lead our hearts back to the promises found throughout Your Word.
We invite You to help us see areas in our lives in which we need to create safeguards for our hearts and minds. Guide and urge us to focus on what is pure, wholesome, and righteous.
Lord, please give us a calm spirit as well when we receive troublesome news. Help us find resourceful ways to heal our anxious hearts. Give us the will to seek Your wisdom in these times and pour Your unfailing love upon us. When our hearts want to wander off the pathway to fear and worry wants to consume us, give us the courage to seek You and give us discernment.
Help us trust You alone and remember that You have a special plan and purpose for our lives. We know we were created for such a time as this and want to glorify You! So, we ask that You be with us during these rather strange times and plant a sense of peace that will carry us through.
We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
