General Prayers for Peace of Mind
Prayer 1
Heavenly Father, I humbly come before you today. I come to lay before your feet my stressful (life, job, family, situation).
This stress is affecting my body, my thoughts and my feelings. I feel restless, overwhelmed and I lack focus.
Your Son, Jesus said: Ask and it shall be given to you. Therefore, Lord, I pray today for your peace in my life. Let your perfect peace fill my soul. Bring me into your loving presence and let your tender mercy comfort me. Cause my heart to rest and not be anxious. Cause my mind to relax and not be stressed. Allow my sleep to be sweet and restorative, so that I can wake up everyday refreshed and filled with joy to be at my best every day of my life.
Lord, thank you for making this happen. I now believe in my heart that I AM at peace and that every single trace of stress is erased from my body.
In the mighty name of Jesus I pray and believe, Amen!
Prayer 2
Holy Father, Here I am, once again before your throne.
Thank you for the privilege of addressing you and asking you for your divine intervention.
Lord, your word tells us: to NOT be anxious about anything. But, at this very moment, my mind is overwhelmed and my heart is restless. I’m anxious and scarred about my (situation/life/job/future/etc.). My life’s journey seems too heavy to bear. But, I don’t want to fall into despair and live with fear, doubt and worry for tomorrow.
Lord, please rescue me from this abyss. Cover me with your sweet Presence. Fill my inner beings with your living waters. Give me your peace, Lord. The peace that surpasses all understanding. The peace that keeps me calm through hard times. The peace to calm my heart when I go through the storms of life. The peace that stays with me in turbulent waters.
I pray for a healthy mind and that your perfect peace be developed in my life. I now believe and trust that You are faithful to cause these things to happen in my life.
In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen!

Lord of Kingdoms and Nations
Jehovah-Shalom, The Lord of Peace

Lord, I pray that peace and serenity will enter my heart. Help me become a man/woman who enjoys life more instead of worrying all the time. I ask you to open the floodgates of Heaven and let your gentle rain of peace fall upon me.
Thank you Lord for your hands that are still at work in my life. Thank you for being the one who is controlling my life. I thank you, I trust you.
In the name that is above all. The Name of Jesus. Amen!
