A Prayer when Anxious or Overwhelmed by Work

Jesus, you are my peace. I trust you and I need you. Like the waters of the sea, bid my anxious mind “Cease! Be still!” Calm my restless spirit. Comfort me, care for me, and return to me the joy of your salvation. To the extent that I have given myself too much work, help me let it go. To the extent that too much work has been put on me by others, may I gracefully disappoint. May your Holy Spirit descend, and indwell my every thought, Amen.
