Prayers for Anxiety
For spirals, waiting rooms, and the mind that keeps rehearsing tomorrow.
Revised by Ryan Borker, Chosen Portion Editor in Chief
A Prayer When Anxiety Is Loud
Lord Jesus, my mind is loud and my body is tired.
I cannot hold tomorrow from here.
Give me the next faithful breath.
Guard me from rehearsing every fear as if fear were truth.
Let your peace keep watch where my thoughts cannot.
Amen.
Scripture to Carry
Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 94:19, and Matthew 6:34 give this prayer its shape: ask honestly, receive comfort, and return to today.
Use This Prayer When
- You are awake before an appointment.
- You keep replaying a conversation.
