A Prayer for When You Feel Anxious

When worry tightens your chest and your thoughts race ahead, you don’t have to carry it alone. Here is a prayer to steady you, and a verse to rest in.

A prayer

Loving God, my mind is restless and my heart feels heavy with worry. Quiet the noise within me and remind me that I am held. Help me to release what I cannot control into Your hands, and to breathe in Your peace. Steady me, one moment at a time. Amen.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 · World English Bible
Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
Matthew 6:34 · World English Bible
