As believers, one of the targets of the devil is to steal our peace of mind; inspire fear and doubt.
His tactic is to deceive us into believing that we can have full control of our lives. He tricks us into believing that we can fix every challenge we face in life.
But we are not meant to fix our lives ourselves; it’s not the way we are wired.
We were created to rely and rest on our Heavenly Father. We are meant to trust in Him and to allow Him to guide us through the journey of life.
That said, I have some prayers for peace of mind and guidance in this article, to help you pray and rest on God.
Here are Prayers for Peace of Mind and Guidance.
