God, Give Me Peace!

52 Simple Prayers for 2018

The key to personal peace in the midst of anxiety producing circumstances is to think rightly. That means to deeply, rationally and habitually think about the things of God. That is not referring simply to positive thinking, mere optimism, self-hypnosis or silly mind-games. It is to set what the Bible declares about God as the gate-keeper of your mind. Do that and you will unleash God’s peace to protect your heart and guard your mind.

“ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

—PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

A Simple Prayer for Personal Peace:

God, in a world that does nothing but promote chaos, anxiety and human striving, I lift the concerns of my life, my needs and desires, to you. I present them before your throne in trust, with confidence, and with thanksgiving in advance of what you are going to do. Now I accept your peace that surpasses human understanding. Cause it to protect my heart and guard my mind in Christ Jesus.
