Isaiah speaks of “perfect peace.” This doesn’t mean life is always calm. It means God’s presence can meet us even in the middle of our worries. Peace often grows in small ways: - a pause - a breath - a quiet prayer - a reminder that we are held. You’re welcome to share one small thing that brings you calm.

As we come to the end of this week, we release what we’ve been holding. Prayer: Healing God, tend to our hearts with compassion. Bring comfort where there is pain, and rest where there is weariness. Amen. You’re welcome to share a word of gratitude, a prayer request, or simply sit quietly as the week closes.

Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”— Proverbs 3:5–6 Prayer:God of wisdom,we come to you seeking guidance—not certainty,direction—not control. Help us trust you when the way forward feels unclear. Amen. You’re welcome to respond with “Amen,” “Praying,” or a word you need this week.
