1. **Philippians 4:6-7** – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This prayer reminds us to bring our worries to God in prayer and trust in His peace to calm our minds.

2. **Psalm 4:8** – “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” This prayer acknowledges God’s protection and asks for peaceful rest despite the worries on our minds.

3. **Psalm 23:1-4** – “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” This prayer can bring comfort and assurance that God is with us through all challenges and will lead us to rest and peace.

4. **Matthew 11:28** – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This prayer invites us to come to Jesus with our burdens and find rest in Him.
