Prince of Peace, thank you for holding me together when everything around me is pulling me apart. I need to trust you more in the midst of the chaos. Sometimes I feel that all the hope in me has been crushed. I feel anger and rage because of the direction that the world has turned. Fill me with your peace so that I can continue to trust you through even the most trying of times. I'm going to live a life completely dedicated to serving you. Amen.
