God, please take my worried mind and calm it, take my furrowed brow and soften it, take my sweating palms and soothe them with your grace. Remind me that I do not have control of what happens in this life, but I do have a choice in how I react. I do have a choice in how I trust you and let your work be done in my life.
Please take my problems and remind me that you are bigger than them. Please take my fears and show me there is nothing to worry about when you are by my side. I give it all to you, God. Every fear and every doubt, every worry and every uncertainty. I give you all of my thoughts, my crazy over-thinking. I give you my heart and ask you to protect it. I am your child. I am loved by you, even in my lowest moments, even when I doubt. Please keep me from wandering away from you. Please keep me from losing faith when I’m frightened.
You are here, always. And I know this. So help me to trust when the road is tough; help me to see that I’m never alone and there’s no need to let my mind run in circles.
The only direction I should be running is closer and closer to you.
Amen.
