A Prayer to Rest in God‘s Goodness When Everything is Changing

Dear heavenly Father, this world is continually changing, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Sometimes it hurts. Deeply. Lord, we know you are in control, and we know you love us. But it still hurts. Help us to look around, see the good, and focus on your unwavering goodness. On the truth that no matter what we lose, no matter what comfort escapes our comfortable worlds, you are always there following us, and you are still so good. You can see what we can not. You know your plan is good. Give us confidence and comfort today in your good plan. And help us rest in your good and perfectly loving, sovereign hands. Thank you for blessing us abundantly. Thank you for staying near to our broken hearts and for saving our crushed spirits. (Psalm 34:18) In Your faithful Name, Jesus, we pray, amen.
