A Prayer for Anxiety 🌿
Dear Lord,
You know the thoughts that keep circling through my mind and the fears I struggle to put into words. I confess that I often try to carry burdens that were never meant for me to hold alone.
Please quiet the noise within me. Help me release what I cannot control and trust You with what I cannot see. Remind me that Your presence is closer than my fears and stronger than my uncertainty.
Guard my heart and mind with Your peace. Give me wisdom for today, courage for the next step, and rest for my weary soul. Teach me to return to You again and again whenever anxiety rises.
Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for never leaving me to face this season by myself.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
“Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.”
