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....
