VICAR

Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I trust that You are well and enjoying the summer. Those farmers among You who are praying for rain, I hear You.

This week I would like to pray for those of You who seek peace of mind and to offer You a prayer that You can use to calm.

Pray for peace in your life when You need it most. Ask the Lord for peace of mind, heart, and soul, as we live to be in union with Him. Be assured of the peace that is found in Jesus Christ through the truth of His Word.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” ~ John 14:27

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” ~ John 16:33

Is Your heart troubled? Are You feeling like the events around You are out of control and it’s beginning to take a toll on Your mental and emotional peace? One of the hardest parts of knowing peace is understanding how it has nothing to do with control. If You’re having trouble with trusting God or finding the words to pray above the howling of the scary storms, feel free to offer up these words to the Lord now.

When anxiety and fears begin to shake the foundation of Your peace and calm, the power of prayer can bring us back into comfort. Below is a prayer for peace to speak when we need God’s truths to speak over our hearts and mind. Let this prayer guide You when You need to remind Yourself of God’s promise of peace.

Have a great week ahead. God Bless You All.

Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for me. Amen
