The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Isaiah 26 says, "You keep in perfect peace the one whose mind stays on You, because he trusts in You." Stayed on You — fixed, not drifting. My mind drifts all the time. From worry to comparison to fantasy to plans right back to worry. Help me fix my mind on You. Not the whole day at once. Just thirty seconds at a time, over and over. The peace comes when I keep coming back. I cannot make that peace myself. It comes when my mind stays on You. Train me to come back to You again and again. Even the short returns throughout the day matter. Make me someone who comes back a lot. Most days, I am shocked at how fast my mind runs off to something dumb. Help me come back without shame. The point is not that I never wander. The point is that I come back. Amen.
