1. Prayer to Calm Someone Who Is Troubled
Lord God, In this difficult moment, I come to You and cry out for peace and tranquility.
I feel so disoriented because of these circumstances, blessed Father.
Right now, I have no one else to turn to but You…Help me, Lord!
Take this situation into Your hands and sustain me by Your infinite mercy.
Oh God, so often I feel like a boat adrift—I feel lost, without direction.
But take the helm of my life, guide me in everything, and lead me to You—to my safe harbor.
This situation has come like a giant wave, trying to drown me, but by faith, I know I am not alone in the boat of life.
I know that Jesus Christ is always with me, and I know He faces every storm that tries to shake me.
Please, Heavenly Father, help me to overcome this struggle that weighs so heavily on me, for I trust in Your power...
Help me to have more faith, dear Jesus!
So that I can fully trust that You are greater than the problems that trouble me.
I believe You are in control of everything, and I ask that You also take control of my emotions and help me to be calm.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, trusting in Your peace.
Amen.
2. Prayer to Leave Our Worries with God
Great and merciful God, I lay all my anxieties before You!
I place at Your altar every worry that fills my heart and mind in this moment.

in my family, relationships, health, work, school, legal matters, finances, body, emotions, and spirit...
I leave everything at the foot of Your Cross.
I give You my plans, my projects, and my dreams…
I also surrender all my fears, insecurities, and disappointments…
I give You the people who persecute me and cause me distress…
I place my weaknesses, selfishness, and restlessness in Your hands.

You have already said in Your Word that in this world we will have trouble.

But in the midst of it all, I ask You, beloved Savior: help us not to faint…
Help us not to despair in the face of life’s struggles and trials.
Teach us not to lose faith or hope, even when suffering comes knocking.
You are the protector of the afflicted, the friend and comforter of those who suffer.

We trust in Your Word, which never leaves us alone.

You are our sovereign God, almighty Creator of heaven and earth!
Thank You for allowing us to rest in the shadow of Your hands.
Thank You that we can feel safe and supported in Your strong and mighty arms.

It is so difficult, Jesus, to live constantly agitated, restless, and overwhelmed by anxious thoughts...
Free me from this agony and bring relief to my soul!

I want to sleep in peace, and I want to feel the true peace that comes from above!
Help me to have a calm, gentle, and humble heart, just like Yours...
Please, blessed God, take away all the fears and worries that torment my heart.
Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Holy Spirit, let Your fruit overflow in my life, so that I may be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Only You, Lord, can give me the grace to live life with more lightness and love.
Help me to trust in You and rest in Your constant presence.
In Your name, Jesus, I pray.
