Breaking Free From Worry - A Prayer For Anxiety

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety and worry, and found it hard to talk to God about it, you're not alone. The good news is that taking the first step towards communicating with God can be as simple as just starting the conversation. Even if you don't know what to say, just acknowledging your feelings and expressing your concerns to Him can make a big difference.

It's also helpful to turn to scriptures that speak to anxiety and fear, such as Philippians 4:6-7, which encourages us to pray with thanksgiving and trust in God's peace that surpasses all understanding.

Prayer For Anxiety or Worry

Dear God,

I come to you today as someone who struggles with anxiety, worry, and fear. These feelings consume me, leaving me feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and alone. But I know that you are always with me, even when I cannot see or feel your presence.

Please help me to trust in your goodness and love. Help me to let go of my worries and fears and surrender them to you. I know that you are in control of all things, and that nothing is too big or too small for you to handle.

Please calm my anxious thoughts and ease my troubled heart. Help me to focus on your promises and your truth, and to remember that you are always with me. Help me to find peace in the midst of my struggles and to rest in the knowledge that you are my refuge and my strength.

Thank you for your unwavering love and grace, and for the peace that only you can give. I pray this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
