WORRIES & ANXIETIES - DEVOTION 1 - PEACE

Over the next three devotionals, we are going to look at how we can respond to any worries and anxieties that we may have over the exam season.

REFLECTION

We can take hope in knowing that God knows us deeply. He knew we would need his peace, so he gave us his Holy Spirit to be with us and bring us peace. During exams, when things feel difficult, we can trust in and rely on that peace.

APPLICATION

Take a moment out of your day to try using a breath prayer. These are prayers you can use anywhere, at anytime, to help you pause and focus on Jesus.

Stop and take some deep breaths in and out.

Once you have slowed your breathing, you can use some phrases from Scripture to help you pray. Pray the first line as you breathe in and the second line as you breathe out.

Here are some examples you can use:

In: Be Still

Out: And know that I am God (Psalm 41:10)

In: Come

Out: Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20)

In: I give you my worries

Out: For you care for me (Based on 1 Peter 5:7)

In: I give you my burdens

Out: You give me your rest (Based on Matthew 11:28)

In: Do not be afraid

Out: I will help you (Based on Isaiah 41:10)

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, I thank you that when you left earth, you left us your peace. I thank you that you know my thoughts and my feelings, so today I give you my worries and my fears. I receive your peace. Help me to notice your peace today. In your precious name, Amen.
