LET US PRAY: Lord Jesus, grant me Your peace this day. I come before you with a heart full of worry and fear. Help me to let go of my anxiety, knowing that You are in control. Grant me the wisdom to make good choices, the strength to face challenges, and a heart that overflows with love and kindness. Help me to be a source of positivity and encouragement to those I encounter. Hear our prayers O Lord. Amen.
