War Anxiety Prayer

A somatic prayer for those living with war anxiety, fear, and uncertainty.
This prayer offers a place to rest, soften vigilance, and remember strength, dignity, and shared humanity.
This prayer can be returned to whenever anxiety rises—after the news, during moments of overwhelm, or when the future feels fragile. It offers not answers, but a place to pause, to breathe, and to remember that fear does not have to become total.

This is a prayer for those who are watching, waiting, remembering, and caring—
and who need a place of peace while staying fully human.

Transcript

Divine Spirit, Angels of Light, Beloved Ancestors, Gracious God, I come to you carrying uncertainty, Not knowing what will come next, Not knowing how the world will change, Not knowing the safety of my country, The land. I bring my fear of war, My vigilance, My tired body and my anxious heart. I come here to you to rest. Let this be a place where my body can soften, Where my breath can slow, Where I don't have to stay alert to survive. Divine Spirit, Angels of Light, Beloved Ancestors, Gracious God, Hold gently the parts of me shaped by fear and memory. Hold gently the parts that breathe, Prepare and watch. Hold gently the parts that are exhausted from caring so deeply. Remind me that fear does not cancel my dignity. That my humanity is intact. And remind me that I am not alone. There are human beings across the world feeling the same fear, The same care, The same longing for peace and the same strength. Remind me that even in uncertainty, There are people choosing compassion, Choosing consciousness and choosing to protect human life and human rights. Beloved Ancestors, Stand with me. Remind me that I carry your endurance, Your wisdom and your dignity. Angels of Light, Guide me back to peace. Not the peace of denial, But the peace of being grounded in my body, In my values and connected to others. Gracious God, Help me rest without guilt. Help me trust without being naive. Help me hope without forcing certainty. Divine Spirit, Angels of Light, Beloved Ancestors, Gracious God, I choose peace over anxiety. I choose rest over collapse. I choose to remain human with others, Among others. In this moment, I am safe enough. I am strong enough. I belong. I stand in my dignity, In my peace, In my human rights. And so it is. And let's take a moment and let your body absorb the prayer. Please be gentle with yourself. I am Annamal. This is Excellent Rising. Much care. Thank you.
