Renew me, Lord—my courage, strength, and endurance.
I feel overwhelmed by all things surrounding me, vying for my attention—
My hands to fix them, my heart to love them, or my mind to dwell on them.
Give me Your peace that I may be renewed;
That I can take a deep breath, pray to You, and face whatever lies ahead.
May I keep my eyes focused on You
And know You are only interested in my welfare.
That no matter what challenges are before me, they are for my good and Your glory.
“The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.”
—Isa. 14:24 (NIV)
