Lord, grant me the peace that passes all understanding, keeping my heart and mind stayed on you (Philippians 4:7). Calm my fears, soothe my anxieties, and reassure me of your sovereignty over all things. As the psalmist says, 'You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.' (Isaiah 26:3) Thank you for being near me, holding me close, and guiding me through life's uncertainties.
