A Prayer for Anxiety

Dear Father in Heaven,

I have been in my lowest and darkest, and sometimes I am still are.

You know the things that are weighing me down with worry and anxiety.

You hear my cries every night and the pain that I feel every time.

Sometimes, I just feel bleak and empty because of the thoughts gnaw my mind.

Therefore, Lord, I pray for Your hand to place upon me.

Help me forgive myself for my mistakes and forget whatever that has happened in the past.

Help me look away to the things that no longer serve me.

Because these traumatic experiences keep on reoccurring in my mind, making it hard for me to recoup and is affecting my sanity.

Help me close my ears to what the enemy is trying to remind me of.

And bring me life and give me the spirit of peace.

Let it envelop me and overflow in this weary season.

Please guard my heart and give me clarity.

Help me fix my eyes on You, for I lay all my fears before You.

Allow me to grasp Your love under my circumstances.

For I know You are in control, and Your heart is compassionate and understands me.

And I will remain secure because You are faithful.

Help me look away from the things that no longer serve me and get me out of this hamster wheel.

Pour out a fresh slate that I would never imagine seeing,

And remind me to be patient with myself because this is an everyday decision.

I am praying stillness over my life so that I will come out victorious.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen ?
