My blessed Father in heaven, be exalted in the life of Your beloved child. Be my rock and my refuge when the winds of life create a storm in my soul. For You are my tower of grace which I can run to in the midst of any struggle. Help me understand the purpose behind the chaos. Quiet my soul with angelic songs of peaceful praise washing over me. Bless me with a renewed sense of Your calling in the intertwining of an ordinary life with the extraordinary relationship I have in Christ Jesus. Help me to rest in the embrace of forgiveness and mercy so that my soul can light up with true freedom. Make the troubles of my heart less as You make Your Spirit more in me. I will reach for Your hand when I am sinking in the mire of defeat. I will grab hold of the victory as I grab hold of Jesus when the quicksand of emotional turmoil drags me down. Under the Word of truth in Psalm 62:8 and the authority of Christ, these prayers are lifted.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:8, ESV
