Comfort
Prayer for Anxiety
When worry races and your mind will not settle, prayer can be a place to lay it down. This is a prayer for anxiety, to hand your fears to the One who carries them.
Gracious God, my mind is restless and my heart is heavy with worry. I bring my anxious thoughts to You, for You have promised to carry what I cannot. Quiet the fears that race within me. Where my thoughts spiral, bring stillness; where I imagine the worst, remind me of Your faithfulness. Help me to breathe, to trust, and to loosen my grip on all I am trying to control. Fill the empty, worried places in me with Your peace, a peace that does not depend on my circumstances. I choose, in this moment, to rest in You. Amen.
