Serenity after the Storm

Dear Lord, I have allowed the world to come into my heart and rob me of my inner peace. When I experience these difficulties it seems that there will be no end—I see no way out of my suffering. Forgive me for my lack of faith and trust. Though I try to fight it, I let fear and anxiety rule my mind and my thoughts and keep me in despair. Help me to remember that there is nothing so great, so overwhelming or so insurmountable that your love cannot conquer it. Embrace me in these dark times. Show me the way.
