Prayers for Mental Health
A Prayer for Peace of Mind
A contemporary pastoral prayer woven from Psalm 46:10, Psalm 131, and Psalm 127:2.
Lord, quiet the noise in me.
Slow the racing thoughts. Loosen my grip.
Take the conversations I keep rehearsing and the outcomes I keep predicting,
and let them rest in your hands, which are steadier than mine.
Teach me to be still and know that you are God.
Let my soul be quieted, like a weaned child with its mother.
And give me, tonight, the sleep you give to those you love. Amen.
Contemporary pastoral prayer based on Psalms 46, 127 and 131
About the prayer
It is written for rumination — the mental loop that outlasts the problem — and is often prayed slowly, one line per breath.
