Prayer
Father,
I repent for allowing the circumstances of life to distract me from the promises of God. You have done so much for me. Truly, Our God has done great things! Your promises are “Yes, and Amen!” Your Word is true. Yesterday! Today! Forever!
Today, I desire to cast my cares upon You. 1.2.3. In the Name of Jesus:
1. I throw my every worry upon you. All of it. The whole.
Assuredly, my God, You will be faithful to catch it.
2. By prayer and petition with thanksgiving, I voice my concerns to You.
You are faithful to hear my cry. For, You, O Mighty One are not distracted.
3. I refocus upon You, and exchange my every care for the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, guarding my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
It is in remembrance of You, and the great things You have done, that I now anticipate the good You will bring out of my every situation. Even though I don’t see it; undoubtedly, You are at work in my life.
As I move into Your presence, I move from anxiety into perfect peace. Here, all anxiety flees. Through prayer, as I cast my cares upon You, I find my focus. Yes, in You, my heart is filled with the perfect peace of the One who cares.
Amen.
