Sometimes, we need a break. A breather from the chaos that comes from kids around the house; relief from receiving disappointing news; a pause from our normal routines. 

While we may not be able to take a physical break or a vacation this week, God has peace for us that we can enjoy right now. 

Say this prayer with me to start your week with God’s Eirēnē (peace, harmony, and tranquility.)

‘God, life can get crazy, but I will not lose sleep this week, because I know you are with me.

I won’t allow anything I’ve been afraid of to take over my thoughts this week because I know you will only use it for a good outcome. 

I will not let worry or fear determine my next steps, but I will trust you to guide me and let your peace guide me instead.

Today, I put my trust in you. You are a good Father, and I know that you hear me. Thank you so much for honoring my faith in you. Thank you for setting me up for and leading me to a heartfelt victory this week. In Jesus’ name, Amen.’ (Based on John 14:27, Romans 8:28, and Colossians 3:15) 

This is a prayer that encompasses some of God’s biblical essentials for peace as well as his promise to us. Say it throughout the week whenever you need to be refreshed, and get ready for the mental triumph God has prepared for you!
