Practice of Prayer

Loving God, You have not given me a spirit of timidity. You have not given me a spirit of anxiety. You have not placed these worries in my head and in my heart. In fact, You have given me a spirit of power and love, and a sound mind. When worries plague me and cause me to question my mental health, I will resist them and renew my mind based upon Your promises. I will not allow myself to stop trusting in You! You are gracious and come to the aid of those with a humble and dependent heart. You are my strong tower and an ever-present help in times of trouble. I rest knowing that the Christ who could calm the waves and the storm with His words can also calm my heart and mind. Your name Jehovah Shalom signifies a God of peace. Today, I embrace Your shalom into my body, cells, thoughts, emotions, hormones, and soul. Cover me with shalom, Lord.

My mind is kept in perfect peace when I keep my mind focused on You. Remove me from distractions that take my thoughts in the wrong direction. Give me strength to resist the temptation to fill my head with negative thoughts. Help me to resist the fear and danger spoken to me through television, the news, and conversation. Bless me, Lord, with the fruit of a secure heart and a stable mind. Bless me with Your love everlasting, and let it flow gently through my emotions, bringing me calm. I trust in You, God, and You alone, for You are worthy of my faith. In Christ’s name, I pray.
