As many of us feel weighed down by this time of uncertainty and turmoil, let’s take a moment for prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to wash over us with peace.
A Prayer for Inner Peace
Lord, please put Your peace in my heart.
I’m worried and anxious.
My mind races and obsesses.
I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them,
the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand
and can’t get out.
Calm me, Lord.
Slow me down, put Your peace in my heart.
No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.
I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
I do not know how You will use this problem for my salvation.
I do not know what good You will workout from this evil.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.

Thank you for sharing this very powerful prayer. It is so important to remember (even thought it is difficult during a time of anxiety/depression) that God is with us during the most difficult times. And we may not know why God is allowing us to experience these difficulties, but God will give us the strength to become stronger as a result of what we endure.
