A Prayer for When It is Hard to Focus

Abba, please help me. With the things going on in the news, I am finding it difficult to focus. I am restless and am concerned about current events. Worrying is wrong (Matthew 6). Yet that is what I likely am doing since I cannot focus. I need to trust You with all my heart (Proverbs 3). None of this is a surprise to You. Help me to trust, to not worry, and to focus on You. Help me to meditate on Your Word (Psalm 1) and pray without ceasing and with thanksgiving (Philippians 4; 1 Thessalonians 5). Help me remember You are God and have a plan; I just cannot see it and do not know it yet. Help me focus on You and not on the things of thus world (Colossians 3).
