Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6
Abba Father, You are the Fount of Goodness and Mercy, our Refuge and Stronghold in times of trouble and distress. We come before You today with humble hearts, reflecting on Your Word. You remind us not to be anxious, but instead to turn to You in every situation. Lord, we confess that sometimes our hearts are heavy, and worry takes hold of our minds. Yet, we know that You are the source of peace that surpasses all understanding and gives our minds rest.
Teach us to bring our concerns to You in prayer, trusting in Your faithfulness. Help us to be mindful of all the blessings You’ve given us, and to come to You with gratitude even in the midst of our struggles. As we present our petitions, may we always remember that Your plans are good, and Your grace is sufficient for every need.
Fill us with the assurance that we are not alone and that You care deeply for us. Calm our anxious hearts, quell the disturbance of our minds and grant us the inner peace of our soul, that only You can provide. We surrender all our worries, knowing that You are in control and that You hold us in the palm of Your Mighty Hands. In every circumstance, Lord, we trust in Your timing, wisdom, and unfailing love. We implore Your continued Grace and Presence in our lives, in Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen
