Mindful prayer for inner peace and calm

We often encounter challenges in life that disrupt our inner peace and leave us feeling anxious and frustrated. These negative feelings hinder us from enjoying our lives to the fullest.

Therefore, we must be prayerful and call on God to help settle the storm that is before us.

Let us pray.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I came before your throne of mercy, Lord, with gratitude for the blessings you have bestowed upon your servant. Lord, I am grateful for the gift of life, providence, and prosperity you have accorded to me without measure.

I am also thankful for the challenges that have come my way that have allowed me to grow and become a better human being.

However, Father, I sometimes find myself being overwhelmed by my problems, and this causes me to lack peace.

Father, remember me in those times. Stretch your Holy Hand towards me and guide me. I relinquish all my problems to you, Father. Take my hand, Lord, and lead me to calm waters where my spirit will find rest.

I pray for wisdom, Jehovah so that I can come up with solutions that will help me solve my problems, thus alleviating my stress. I also pray for decisiveness to make good decisions, Lord.

Decisions that will impact me positively and help me get closer to you, Father. I know that peace is only found in You, Father. I pray for serenity so that I may accept the things that I cannot change.

I also pray for the courage to take the necessary actions that will bring peace to my life.

Forgive me, Father, for I know I am a sinner. I have gone against your divine Will. My sins weigh heavy on me. Thus, I cannot find peace.

Heavenly Father, I pray that you have mercy on my soul and remove the feelings of guilt and shame that plague me and leave me in distress.

Renew me, Father, and draw me closer to your bosom, where I will finally know rest. I pray for peace in the world. I pray that all corners of the world shall experience your divine peace now and forever.

Comfort us, Father, in our distress and hear our cries.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
