Learn to release control and find peace in God with this prayer by Karin Hadadan. To help, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day shows how being aware of Him daily deepens our trust. Let this guide you to a more restful day.
Sometimes we chase peace by trying to fix everything around us, only to find that the calm we gain doesn’t last. When we learn to release our fears to God and trust His presence, our hearts can finally rest in a peace that goes deeper than circumstances. Join me in this prayer.
Dear God,
I confess that I’ve been seeking peace in external conditions rather than relying on you. When trouble and anxiety arise, I cling to controlling things outside myself, finding only temporary relief. Help me trust you more deeply and receive the lasting peace that Jesus promised. Give me the strength to reject fear-based thoughts and embrace your assurance instead. Fill my heart with your divine peace that transcends all understanding, and allow me to rest in the truth that you are always with me.
Amen.
