Prayer for Peace of Mind

Dear God,

I come before You today with a humble and contrite heart. I confess that I have been feeling anxious and stressed, and I have struggled to find peace and rest in my mind.

But I know that You are the Prince of Peace, and You offer Your peace to all who come to You in faith. So I turn to You now, asking for Your help and guidance.

I pray that You would fill my heart and mind with Your peace, that surpasses all understanding. Help me to trust in You and Your plan for my life, even when things seem uncertain and scary. Give me the strength to let go of my worries and to rest in Your love.

I also pray that You would give me wisdom and discernment as I navigate through this difficult time. Help me to make good decisions and to seek Your will in all things.

I know that You are sovereign and in control of all things, and that You work everything for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. So I trust in You and give You all of my concerns and cares.

Please surround me with Your love and protection, and help me to feel Your presence with me always. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today with heavy hearts, as we pray for our loved one who is nearing the end of their earthly journey. We trust in Your promise of eternal life and the hope of the resurrection. Even in the midst of this difficult time, we know that You are sovereign and we place our trust in You.

Comfort and sustain our loved one as they transition from this life to the next. Be with them in their final moments and guide them according to Your will and Your purposes. We ask that You grant them peace and rest, and that You would be a light to guide them in the way everlasting.

We also ask for Your comfort and peace for their family and friends who will grieve their loss. Help us to trust in Your sovereign plan and will, and to find solace in the knowledge that Your mercies are new every morning, and Your loving kindness endures forever.

We pray all of this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
