Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for being my refuge in times of chaos.

Help me to trust in Your loving care when life seems uncertain, knowing that I can rest in You. Surround me with Your strength so that I may endure the trials that come my way.
Lord, I ask for the wisdom to recognize Your hand at work in my life, guiding me toward paths of righteousness. Help me to understand that my refuge is not just a shield against danger but also a source of wisdom that enlightens my decisions. Teach me to draw nearer to You, to seek Your guidance in my daily responsibilities, and to remain steadfast in my faith regardless of external circumstances.
As I reflect on Your word, may it permeate my heart and mind, reminding me of the power of Your love and the strength that comes from abiding in You. I long to rest in the assurance that You walk beside me, even in the darkest valleys. May my life be a testament to Your unwavering presence and protection.
Fill me with the peace that surpasses all understanding, allowing me to approach each situation with a calm spirit. Help those around me, too, to discover Your refuge; may I share the love and hope You have given me. Together, let us lift our voices in praise and find our strength in You. Thank You for being my refuge, my fortress, and my source of hope. In Your holy name, I pray. Amen.
