A Prayer To Refocus Your Heart Back On God

When life’s storms distract your heart, God calls you to refocus on Him and trust His grace in every moment of doubt, as Karin Hadadan shares. This is reflected in Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day, which encourages daily faith and awareness of God’s presence.

There are instances when life’s storms can easily pull your attention away from God, making doubt feel louder than faith. We can gently choose to refocus our hearts back on Him, trusting that even in our weakest moments, He is still there to hold us up. Join your heart with mine in this prayer.

Dear God,

As of late, I’ve been focusing on life’s storms rather than You. When things feel overwhelming, my first inclination is to doubt myself and You—so today, please give me supernatural strength to resist that voice of doubt and instead, allow me to keep my eyes fixed on You. I trust that even when my faith feels small, Your grace is what deepens my relationship with You.

Please help me discover a deeper, more consistent faith, so that I feel Your presence during the storms I face, and trust that through You, I can do the impossible. Just as You immediately reached out to catch Peter when he began to sink, I know You will catch me too when my faith wavers.

Amen.
