Anxiety Prayer

Father, my chest is tight before the day has even started. The phone is on the nightstand. The email is unread. My muscles are braced like something bad is about to come. Philippians 4:6 says do not be anxious about anything but bring every need to You with prayer and thanks. So here are my needs. The unfinished work is Yours. The appointment I am dreading is Yours. The conversation I have been putting off is Yours. I cannot make my own peace. But You guard the heart. Set Your guard around mine.

Amen.
