Lord, I am anxious, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. My chest is tight, my thoughts are running laps, and rest feels far away. You said to come to You when I am weary and weighed down, and that You would give rest — so I am coming, just as I am, anxious and tired and unsure. I am not asking You to instantly fix how I feel; I am asking You to be with me in this, to steady me for the next hour, and then the hour after that. Quiet what You can quiet. Where the worry stays, sit with me in it, so I do not face it alone. Help me do the next small thing — to breathe, to rest, to reach out to the people and the help You have put within my reach. I bring You my heavy, racing heart, and I trust You to carry what I cannot. Amen.
A prayer for you
Prayer for Anxiety
Anxiety can make an ordinary day feel like too much; you can bring exactly that here, without dressing it up.
“Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”
