Heavenly Father,

Grant us the serenity to accept what we cannot change, the courage to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Please help us find peace within ourselves and our interactions with others in this chaotic world.

We acknowledge that there are many aspects of life beyond our control. Some situations leave us feeling powerless, overwhelmed, and burdened. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, grant us the serenity to surrender our worries and fears into Your hands. Help us trust in Your divine plan, knowing that You work all things for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28).

Please give us the courage to confront the challenges before us. May we not be paralyzed by fear or doubt but encourage us to take action where we can make a difference. Strengthen our resolve to stand up for justice, to extend compassion to those in need, and to speak truth in the face of adversity. For You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Grant us the wisdom to discern between what we can change and what we cannot. Please help us to focus our energies on the things that truly matter rather than being consumed by trivial concerns. Guide us in making decisions that align with Your will, knowing that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Lord, during life’s storms, may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Teach us to find solace in Your presence, knowing that You are with us always, even in the darkest moments.
