A Short Prayer To Ask God To Quiet Your Scattered Mind

Life can pull our minds in all kinds of directions, leaving us feeling scattered and utterly exhausted. Here is a prayer to ask God for peace of mind and stillness throughout your day.

Dear God, I confess that as of late, my mind has been scattered and all over the place—by focusing on things outside of me, I no longer feel at peace and instead, have filled my mind with doubts, worries, and anxieties.

Today, I’m coming to you asking for your perfect peace. Help me fix my thoughts firmly on you rather than my circumstances. Allow me to accept each moment as it is, and help me find the beauty within everything you give to me—even the challenges. I want to experience the deep peace you have promised, regardless of my circumstances, so that I can remain steadfast through every upcoming chapter of my life. I commit to trust you in each moment, but please guide me on how to do so, especially when I struggle to understand your ways. Thank you for being the keeper of my peace when I keep my mind stayed on you.

Amen.
