Peace in the End of Summer Chaos | Your Nightly Prayer

For some, this season brings relief as routines return. For others, it reintroduces the pressure of packed schedules, back-to-school stress, and lingering exhaustion from a whirlwind summer. In tonight’s Your Nightly Prayer, we reflect on how peace doesn’t come from perfect plans—it comes from God’s presence. Whether your summer included joyful road trips, unexpected hardships, or the quiet ache of transition, God invites you to rest in Him. Clarence’s story reminds us that even in job loss and personal upheaval, God’s peace holds steady. 📖 “The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.” — Psalm 29:11 📖 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” — Isaiah 26:3 📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 This episode is a powerful reminder that peace is not the absence of chaos—but the presence of God in it. You can choose to carry anxiety, or you can choose to rest in the arms of the One who never changes, no matter the season. Lord, I am thankful that, though times change and seasons shift, You remain the same. As I come to the end of one chapter and look toward the next, help me to keep my eyes on You. You know how easily I drift toward worry when life feels chaotic. In those moments, draw me back into Your presence, where Your peace reigns. Tonight, I release my anxious thoughts and receive Your blessing of peace. Let me sleep soundly, knowing You are in control and I can fully rest in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
