A Prayer for Clarity in Confusion

God, my thoughts are tangled like wires behind a desk, every cord crossed over another until I cannot trace a single one to its source. I have tried to think my way out and only pulled the knot tighter.

I am embarrassed by how scattered I feel. People come to me for steadiness, and inside I am all static and noise, unable to hear myself think, let alone hear You.

So I stop trying to untangle it all at once. I sit down in the middle of the mess and hand You the wires. You are not the author of confusion. You bring order where I bring chaos.

Quiet the competing voices. Slow my racing mind. Lift the fog one layer at a time until I can see the one true thing I need to see today, and only that.

Your word reminds me that You are not a God of disorder but of peace, that clarity is part of the calm You carry into a room.

I do not need everything to make sense by morning. I just need one clear thread to hold. Hand it to me gently, Lord, and let peace replace the panic. Amen.
