The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says that a man whose heart is set on You will not be shaken by bad news. Not flexible based on the headlines. Fixed on You.
My heart is not fixed. When the market drops, I drop. When my kid has a hard day, I carry it home. When a friend goes quiet, I start to worry. I let every text and every call set my mood.
Fix my heart, Lord. Not stiff, but steady. Let me read the news without losing my peace. Let me get a hard text and not fall apart. Let me take the call I did not want and not react out of fear.
Jesus, You faced the worst news any man could face, and You held steady. Put that same steadiness in me this week. Help me come home tonight calm, even if the day was rough.
Amen.
