Prayer
Jesus taught us to come to the Father with everything (Matthew 6:9-13).
Father, You are the Rock that doesn't shift when everything else does. I admit I'm gripping tight to things I can't control, trying to manage what only You can hold. Today I'm choosing to trust You with what scares me most. Help me lean my full weight on Your character, not my own ability to figure this out. Give me that perfect peace that comes from keeping my mind on You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
