Today’s prayer focus: A Prayer for Inner Peace in Chaotic Moments
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:7
PRAYER FOR TODAY 31ST JULY 2024.
It kind of drives me crazy how fleeting peace can be. Oh, how I wish serene moments of the soul would just come and stay, but they never seem to. Not for long, anyway. And I bet we’ve all felt this deep desire for inner stillness during certain seasons of the wild life we’re living.
You know what peace feels like. You love it and long for it, don’t you? You’ve been embraced by her covering of comfort before. But then it seems as quickly as she graces you with her sweet, soothing presence, the strong currents of unexpected circumstances whip into your path and wipe away every trace of calm and collectedness. Yet again.
Are you longing for peace in your soul right now, in this very season? A season where all that seems to be surrounding you is moving way too fast or throwing you for loops and tossing you into constant clutter or confusion? I feel the fluster of chaos these days myself.
There are demands at home. Deadlines with work. Needs of service to loved ones. Requests for help at church. Obligations to friends. And a surplus of concern about all the things and then some. So many seeming responsibilities that need my time and attention, filling my head and heart space to the point of overflowing into a deep pool of way too much.
I want nothing more than to give all my burdens to the Lord and inhale the richness of his permeating peace. A sweeping of serenity that will infuse its way into my shaky soul and leak out as sturdy steps and breaths. I want to be reminded of God’s love that is always watching over me and God’s power that is always protecting me.
Do Not Miss These:
I want to feel God’s presence so close that even if my circumstances don’t change or they decline, the peace he offers, which surpasses understanding, will guard me, still me, and mellow me. I want this for all my people–for you too.
The good news we both need to remember is this: It can be ours. It is a promise we can trust, written in our unfailing God’s unfailing Word. It’s time to turn to God again. To surrender it all again. Will you turn to him right now with me for his peace? And then again, when the blows of life blindside you later? Because I know life tends to do that. A lot. To all of us. But dear child of God, remember this. Each time you look to the Lord, you will indeed find him. And you will also find hints of the inner peace you are craving and waiting for.
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, You are the Prince of Peace. You are my Prince of Peace. It is your peace that is freely available to each of your children at any and every moment. And it is the only peace that fully fills. I praise you for this ever-present gift.
So often, difficulties distract me, discourage me, and bring me to the steep edge of defeat. To the point that peace–that sweet, spiritual fruit I desperately need–feels near impossible to grasp. But Lord, I know the truth is that your peace is always there because you are always there.
Help me remember and hold tightly to this. Help me turn my eyes to you in every chaotic moment, situation, and season. Help me find more time for you. Lord, quiet my raging thoughts and help me hear your calming voice saying, “Trust me, dear child, I have you. I’m here. I’m holding you. I love you. Peace be with you.” Thank you for never failing and never leaving.
In your peaceful name, Amen.
This Is the Assurance of Answers to Your Prayers – Matthew 7:7-11
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD THINGS TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM!
