Morning Prayer for Today – Surround Me With Peace

Dear God,

It is You who have made me. You know every detail about me, even the number of hairs on my head.

You know my future even before I was conceived in the womb. You know my pains; all my hurts and troubles are bare before You.

Today I come to You and ask, amid all these, that You surround me with Your peace.

I am contemplating your Word in Philippians 4:6-7:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Lord, please guard my heart with your peace through whatever circumstances I face.

Do not let my mind wander from Christ. Help me fix my gaze on Him, even in the difficult challenges.

Lord, in Christ’s great name, I receive your peace in the raging storms of life around me.

Your Word says in John 14:27:

Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful.

I open my heart to receive the peace of Jesus today. In this troubled and dark world, I declare that Your peace surrounds me.

Fear has no place here, and nothing steals my joy. Everyone who comes in contact with me is pointed to You by the calmness they find in me.

Thank You, Father, for blessing me with your peace today.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
