I feel scared and overwhelmed, unsure of how to navigate through the challenges that surround me. But I know that just as You came to the disciples in their time of need, You will come to me in mine. Help me to trust in Your power and presence, knowing that You are always with me, ready to calm the storms of my heart and guide me to safety.
Please grant me the faith to trust in Your perfect timing and Your sovereign control over all things. Strengthen me to keep my eyes fixed on You, rather than on the chaos that threatens to consume me. Give me the courage to step out in faith, knowing that You are there to meet me in the midst of the storm. Thank You for Your unfailing love and grace, and for being my refuge and strength in times of trouble.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
