Prayer

Jesus taught us to bring our anxieties to the Father who cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, You are the Rock eternal, unchanging and completely trustworthy. I confess that I often lean on my own understanding and try to control things beyond my power. Right now I choose to trust You with the situations that keep me awake at night. Help me rest in Your sovereignty and overflow with hope through Your Spirit. In Jesus' name, Amen.
