A Prayer for Anxiety

When worry will not quiet down, you can hand it to God one breath at a time. This is a gentle prayer for anxiety, for the moments your mind will not rest.

Father, my thoughts are racing and my chest is tight, and I am tired of carrying this alone. I give you the worries I keep turning over. Quiet the noise inside me, and remind me that you are near. Help me breathe slowly and trust that you are holding what I cannot control. Where I have been afraid, let your peace settle in like light in a dark room. Thank you for staying with me. Amen.
