One of my favorite authors is Beverly Lewis, she was born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country and she comes from an Old Order Mennonite community. In 2011 she came out with a book called Amish Prayers. This is a copulation of German prayers from Die Ernsthafte Christenpflicht and translated by Katie Polley.
I will occasionally post these prayers with a scripture passage to meditate on.
The first one is a prayer for Divine Guidance.
Holy Father, always be our path and guide, our protection and shield, our consolation and strength. Set our feet, minds, and hearts onto your path of divine peace. Make your holy and divine Word, which you allow us to hear, vibrant and active in our hearts so we might please and serve you until the end of our lives. Amen.
And from Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.
