Peace in Anxiety
Peace When the Mind Races
“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 4:6-7
Reflection
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. The racing mind wants to solve at midnight what is meant for the morning. Name each worry, one by one, and hand it over. The peace of God, which surpasses understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.
A prayer
Father, I give You the list my mind keeps rehearsing. I cannot fix it tonight, and I was never meant to. Guard my heart with a peace I cannot manufacture. Quiet me, and let me rest. Amen.
