Lord, calm my heart, turn my hurt into understanding.

Prayer for Inner Peace
O God
I focus on Your resurrection love
Like a soft bed of grace,
I choose to lie down here.
I feel the peace
You have sown into my heart,
I choose to linger here.
I drink in Your eternal love
Thank you I am clothed forgiveness.
I choose always, to live here.
Amen.

Prayer for Anxiety
Heavenly Father,
When I feel crushed by my own worries,
Lift my mind and help me to see the truth.
When fear grips me tight and I feel I cannot move,
Free my heart and help me to take things one step at a time.
When I can't express the turmoil inside,
Calm me with Your quiet words of love.
I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I can cast these cares on You, that you have taken these anxious thoughts and by dying on the cross, You have set me free.
I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I live in Your grace, forgiven, restored by Your sacrifice, You have set me free.
Amen.
