Proverbs 19:11 (New International Version)

A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

God, please bless us with patience. Let us be half as patient with others as you are to us. Please help us to be forgiving, and loving, just like you are.

Psalm 29:11 (New International Version)

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

God, bless us with strength when we need to be strong. Let us use you for our strength when we do not feel adequate. Bless us with peace about our lives, about our faith, and about eternity.

Philippians 4:6 (The Message)

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

God, thank you for taking care of us and putting our minds at ease. Continue to help us trust you, and know that you will always help us and do what is best for us, even when we don't see it.
