Prayer
Jesus invites us to bring our burdens to Him (Matthew 11:28).
Father, You are the God of peace who never panics or loses control. I confess I've been trying to manufacture peace through control and certainty instead of trusting You. Right now I surrender this anxiety that's been stealing my sleep and joy. Guard my heart and mind with Your peace that makes no human sense. In Jesus' name, Amen.
