Luke 2:8-11
8-11:And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Loving Father, I confess my great feelings of anxiety, sometimes the intensity of my stress is overwhelming. I know in my mind that you are with me, I know that your love encompasses all that I feel, that your peace fills me when I submit these things to you.
So I draw near to you. Please still the circles of my thoughts. Help me to take each one captive now and allow your great love and grace to cover me.
Lord, I lay before you all the circumstances I face and ask for your Spirit to move in these things to bring change, healing, and restoration. Thank you that you are the one in whom I shelter. You are the home in which I rest, and you are the arms of love around me. I love you. Amen
