Morning Prayer for Calming Anxiety Dear Loving Presence,
As this new day begins,
I awaken with a tender heart.
Some mornings feel heavy.
Some mornings my mind runs ahead of me.
But right now,
In this moment,
I return to my breath.
I return to the quiet place inside me where peace is always waiting.
I ask for your gentle guidance today.
Help me loosen the grip of fear and soften the pressure I place on myself.
Let each inhale remind me that I am safe.
Let each exhale release what I cannot control.
Ground my spirit in trust.
Steady my thoughts with compassion.
Wrap my body in a sense of safety so that I may move through my day with clarity and calm.
May I remember that anxiety is not a personal feeling.
It is simply a signal,
A whisper,
Asking for care.
Today I choose to meet that whisper with kindness.
I choose patience.
I choose presence.
I choose to honour myself gently.
Help me recognize the small moments of grace around me.
A warm light,
A quiet breath,
A simple truth that I am not alone.
Remind me that I am supported,
Guided and held in ways I may not always see but can always return to.
As I step into this day,
May peace walk beside me,
May calm settle within me,
And may I carry myself with love,
One breath,
One moment,
One small step at a time.
Take a deep breath in,
Softening the mind,
Softening the body,
And let the day begin gently.
