The world feels like a crazy place lately. If you’re like me, anxiety might be trying to creep in.

Tonight, I felt like I was beyond maximum capacity for stress. I opened my Bible App to search for Scriptures on anxiety, and I saw a friend had just completed  a devotion in the same thing.

One of the things it suggested was to write out what was stressing you and/or how you were feeling about it. I ended up writing out a short prayer and thought I’d share.

Lord,

I’m growing increasingly anxious, as things I cannot control seem to be growing more quickly than I can handle. It’s hard to process it all. The unseen things of this world can be scary.

I know You are greater, but sometimes I lose my focus.

Help me, God, to keep my eyes on You and OFF the crashing waves of this world.  Lord, calm the fear that tries to take over, and keep me afoat in faith as I await Your time to speak, “peace; be still.” And if I start to falter, give me the strength to reach my arms up to You, as I know You’ll reach out and for me and save me.

 

Thank you, Jesus.

Amen
