A Deep Prayer to Overcome Restlessness

-

 


Gracious and Loving Father, I come before You in this moment with a heart that feels unsettled, a mind that won’t stop racing, and a soul that longs for peace. There is a restlessness within me— an uneasiness I cannot seem to shake. And yet, even in the middle of this, I know You are near.


You are the God who calms the seas,

who speaks peace to the winds, and who holds the whole world in the palm of Your hand. Surely You can quiet the storm within me. So I bring this restlessness to You, Lord. Every worry. Every fear. Every racing thought. Every question without an answer. I place it all at Your feet.


Sometimes I don’t even know why I feel this way.

But You know me completely. You see the burdens I’m carrying, even the ones I hide from myself. You understand the chaos in my soul

and the longing I have to be still. So Father, I ask You—settle me. Center me. Anchor me.


Help me to slow down, not just in my body, but in my spirit. Remind me that it’s okay to pause.

It’s okay to rest. It’s okay not to have all the answers. Because You do. And You are still God, even when I don’t feel in control.


Forgive me for the times I’ve run to distractions

instead of running to You. Forgive me for filling the silence with noise, instead of letting it draw me deeper into Your presence. I don’t want a temporary fix— I want Your lasting peace.

The kind that doesn’t come from a change in circumstances, but from a heart completely surrendered to You.


Holy Spirit, breathe calm into my soul.

Remind me of the truth of God’s Word.

That He is my refuge and strength.

That He is working in ways I cannot see.

That He has not left me—not for a moment.

Give me the grace to trust what You are doing,

even when I don’t understand it.


Teach me to be still in Your presence, Lord.

Let Your peace flow over me like a river.

Let Your love fill every anxious space within me.

Let Your voice be louder than the noise of this world. And when I forget—bring me back to this place again. A place of surrender. A place of stillness. A place of peace.


Thank You for being patient with me. Thank You for never turning away when I feel overwhelmed.

You are my safe place. You are my calm. You are my peace.


In the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, Amen.

Verse Of The Day - ISAIAH 43:16-19

A Reflection on Isaiah 43:16-19 Life often brings us to places where we feel trapped—situations that seem impossible, challenges that appear too great to overcome. In these moments, doubt can creep in, and we may wonder if there’s any way forward. But Isaiah 43:16-19 reminds us that God is a way-maker, a miracle-worker who specializes in doing the impossible. This passage begins by recalling God's mighty work in delivering Israel through the Red Sea. When the Israelites stood before the waters with the Egyptian army closing in behind them, they saw no escape. But God made a way where there was no way—He parted the sea, allowing them to cross on dry ground. Then, God shifts our focus:  “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”  (v. 18-19). While it’s important to remember God’s faithfulness in the past, He calls us to look forward. He is always at work, bringing fresh provision, new opportunities, and unexpected solutions. Even in the wi...

Verse Of The Day - PSALM 34:10

-
Image
  The Righteous Lack No Good Thing Psalm 34:10 There’s a deep, quiet confidence that comes from reading these words:  “The righteous lack no good thing.”  It’s a simple statement, but it holds a world of meaning about the character of God and the life He calls us to live. At first glance, it may seem hard to believe. Life often feels full of lack — unmet dreams, unanswered prayers, unfulfilled needs. We all walk through seasons where what we desire most feels just out of reach. But Psalm 34:10 gently reminds us that when we walk closely with God, He ensures we lack  no good thing. Notice the phrase carefully:  good thing.  God, in His wisdom, knows what is truly good for us — not just what looks good, feels good, or seems good in the moment. He sees the bigger picture we cannot see. Sometimes the things we think we desperately need are the very things He lovingly withholds for our protection, growth, or preparation. His definition of “good” is shaped by His...

Verse Of The Day - JERMIAH 33:3

  Call to Me, and I Will Answer You Jeremiah 33:3 is one of the most powerful invitations in the Bible: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." These words were spoken by God to the prophet Jeremiah while he was imprisoned. At a time when Judah was facing destruction and Jeremiah’s own future looked uncertain, God extended an invitation—not just to speak, but to call upon Him with confidence. This verse reveals God’s heart for His people. He does not desire for us to walk in confusion, doubt, or fear. Instead, He wants us to come to Him, to ask, and to expect Him to respond in ways beyond our understanding. God’s Promise to Answer Notice that God doesn’t say,  "Call to me, and I might answer you."  He says,  "I will answer you."  This is a guarantee. When we sincerely seek God in prayer, He hears us. Sometimes, the answer is immediate. Other times, it unfolds over time. But He always answers—whether...

Verse Of The Day - LUKE 16:10

  Reflection on Luke 16:10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."  — Luke 16:10 We often pray for greater blessing —more opportunities, bigger breakthroughs, and increased influence. But Jesus teaches us that  how we handle the small things in life determines whether we are ready for greater things.  Think about a gardener. If he is faithful in watering and caring for a small plant, over time, it will grow into something strong and fruitful. But if he neglects the small plant, how can he expect to manage a large garden?  The same is true in our spiritual lives. God watches how we handle the small blessings He gives us—our time, talents, finances, relationships, and responsibilities. If we are faithful, honest, and diligent with what we have now,  God can trust us with more. How Can We Apply This Verse? Be faithful in small responsibilities.  Wh...
