God,

Calm my anxiety and quiet my worries.

A prayer for deep peace.

God,

I come to you feeling anxious and unsettled.

My mind feels full,

My body feels tense,

And my heart feels tired from carrying worry for too long.

Jesus,

You see exactly where anxiety has taken hold of me.

You see my racing thoughts,

The tightness in my chest,

The way my mind keeps scanning for problems even when I want to rest.

So right now,

Lord,

I bring all of this to you honestly.

I don't minimize it,

I don't hide it,

I don't pretend I'm okay when I'm not.

I simply come,

Trusting that you meet me with compassion.

God,

Calm my anxiety.

Not by demanding that it disappear,

But by gently reminding me that I am safe in your care.

Jesus,

Help my body begin to relax.

Soften my shoulders,

Unclench my jaw.

Slow my breathing.

Let peace begin to move through me,

Where tension has been living.

God,

My worries feel loud right now.

They talk about the future,

And they replay the past.

They tell me everything that could go wrong.

But tonight,

Lord,

I choose to bring those worries to you.

I give you the worries about tomorrow,

The decisions I haven't made yet,

The outcomes I can't predict,

The things I feel responsible for,

But don't have control over.

And I place all of it into your hands.

Jesus,

When my thoughts start spiraling,

Interrupt them with your truth.

When fear tries to take over,

Replace it with your peace.

When anxiety tells me I'm alone,

Remind me that you are right here with me.

God,

I don't want worry to rule my inner world.

I don't want anxiety to shape my days or steal my peace.

I want to trust you more deeply,

Even when my emotions feel unsteady.

Jesus,

You are my refuge,

A safe place when my thoughts feel overwhelming,

A steady presence when my heart feels fragile,

A calming voice when everything inside me feels loud.

God,

I release the need to stay on high alert.

I release the constant scanning for danger.

I release the belief that I must think through every scenario in order to be safe.

You are my protector.

I don't have to do this alone.

Jesus,

Teach my heart how to rest again.

Teach my mind how to be still.

Teach my body that it is okay to relax in your presence.

When anxiety returns,

And I know it sometimes will,

Help me remember this moment.

Help me return to my breath.

Help me return to your truth.

Help me return to the peace that you freely give.

God,

I trust you with what worries me most.

I trust you with the things I cannot fix.

I trust you with the people I love.

I trust you with the future I cannot see clearly yet.

Jesus,

Surround me now with your peace.

Let it settle over my mind.

Let it guard my heart.

Let it quiet the anxious places inside me,

One gentle breath at a time.

God,

Thank you for being patient with me.

Thank you for understanding my anxiety.

Thank you for offering peace even when I struggle to receive it.

Right now,

I choose to rest.

I choose to trust.

I choose to place my worries in your care instead of carrying them alone.

Jesus,

Calm my anxiety,

Quiet my worries,

Hold me steady,

And let your peace remain with me as I move forward.

In your holy and loving name,

Amen.
