Daily prayer

Dear God, thank You for giving me another day. Thank You for giving me a moment to pause, breathe, and be reminded of Your faithfulness. My mind has been cluttered with worry, my thoughts have been running wild, and it’s hard to focus or feel calm. But I know You’re not asking me to carry this weight by myself. Your word in Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” Thank You for inviting me to come to You, to bring every thought that feels too heavy and lay it down. Help me to stop replaying what’s been difficult and start trusting You with what’s ahead. I don’t want to let fear rule my decisions or anxiety steal my joy. Teach me to take things one step at a time with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. -Philippians 4:6
