During stress-inducing moments of anxiety, Lord let me lean on You alone. May I humble myself knowing full well that my life is completely under Your mighty hand. May I stand firm knowing full well that I am not alone,but rather I am surrounded by grace. Restore me Lord, build my faith upon rock, deeply root my mind and spirit into Your truth, and lead me to the life everlasting.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." -- 1 Peter 5:6-10
