Shared Prayer

Dear God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ We praise You for Your wisdom, power, and faithful care over all things. Your word says that Christ is before all things, and by him all things consist. When life feels scattered by fear, pressure, and uncertainty, gather our hearts into that truth, according to Your Word. Keep us from panic and from leaning on our own understanding. Order our thoughts, establish our steps, and teach us to rest under Your rule. Where minds feel strained and homes feel fragile, let the peace of Christ govern what seems out of place. We ask that You crown us with your lovingkindness and tender mercies, and preserve us in faith and obedience to Your will. Thank You that nothing is outside Your sight, and nothing held by Christ can finally fall apart. We trust Your care, and we bless You for Your unfailing mercy. In your glorious name we pray. Amen.
