Christian Prayers For Peace: Calm The Storm Inside

Prayer is sacred communication between you and the God of all creation. It’s a time that should be spent thoughtfully and intentionally, in the quiet when you can and in the chaos when you can’t. Spend a moment to cultivate an awareness of Spirit and be open to hearing what He says.

Heavenly Father, I come before you with a soul burdened and weary. My heart longs for peace that only you can give. Fill me with your spirit and reveal the way of peace to me. Amen.
