A Deeper Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus, I come before You with a troubled mind and heart. As I struggle with anxiety and overthinking, I confess my tendency to worry and doubt Your goodness. Please, Lord, fill my heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help me trust in Your sovereignty, that You are in control and working all things for my good (Romans 8:28). Remind me that Your presence is always with me, and that I am never alone. Give me rest in Your loving presence, and calm my anxious thoughts with Your peace. In Your name I pray, Amen.
