Help me to trust in Your unfailing presence, knowing that no matter what challenges I face, You are there to guide, support, and protect me. Teach me to rely on Your strength rather than my own, and to find peace and comfort in Your loving embrace.

May my heart always turn to You first in times of trouble, confident in Your promise to be my ever-present help.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.
