Psalm 139:1-18

You have searched me, Lord,� and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;� you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;� you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue� you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,� and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,� too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit?� Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;� if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,� if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,� your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will hide me� and the light become night around me,’
even the darkness will not be dark to you;� the night will shine like the day,� for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being;� you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;� your works are wonderful,� I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you� when I was made in the secret place,� when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;� all the days ordained for me were written in your book� before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!� How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,� they would outnumber the grains of sand –� when I awake, I am still with you.

Work deadlines leaving you anxious?
Huge tasks with not enough time?
What if I told you there is a solution to the anxiety and stress you face in your day-to-day life?
The answer isn’t found in better circumstances.
The answer is found in Jesus Christ.
John 14:27 says
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
In John’s Gospel, Jesus speaks these words to His disciples as they feel anxious and uncertain about His soon departure. They didn’t know what was coming — but Jesus did.
Does this mean Jesus will take away the problem itself? No.
However, He does offer us His peace-bringing Spirit living within us during our troubles.
The world’s peace is temporary and fragile.
Christ’s peace is secure and unshakable — rooted in His victory over sin and death.
We can’t always control the storms we face.
But we can tie our ship to Christ as our anchor.
Bringing our worries to Him in prayer, reading His Word, and choosing to trust His promises instead of letting fear lead our thoughts.
With Jesus as your anchor, you can face the storm
with a heart that is not troubled and a spirit that is not afraid.

Philippians 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Why do you pray?

We pray for all sorts of reasons

Maybe you have pressing concerns, fears and desperately need help

Maybe you pray because you believe it’ll make a difference

Or maybe you have hopes and dreams for 2026

Our prayers can quickly become a wish list conversation with God

Like our wish list Apps for our Christmas present lists, with everything the right size, colour and shape!

But what if we changed our focus from our wish list to God’s character?

What if we prayed more God-focused prayers and less wish list focused?

Prayers for God’s strength to be displayed through his loving forgiveness in Jesus

A prayer like this ‘Lord God thank you that you care about me and my family because you are the perfect heavenly Father. In 2026 I pray we would know you more as our Helper, Maker, Shelter, Keeper and the Guardian over all our comings and goings in the year ahead and forever, just like we discover in Psalm 121. Thank you Jesus, Amen'
