A prayer for you

Prayer for My Daughter With Anxiety

Watching anxiety shadow your daughter is its own ache; here are words for a parent who wants to steady her.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
Psalm 121:3 (WEBBE)

Lord, my daughter is wrestling with anxiety, and as her parent I feel each of her worries echo in my own chest. Your word promises that the One who watches over her never dozes and never looks away — so stand guard over my girl through the nights her thoughts will not quiet and the mornings that start already braced. Where the world insists she must be perfect, prettier, more put-together to be acceptable, silence that lie with the truth that she is already deeply loved. Steady her racing heart. Make me a soft place for her to land — quick to listen, slow to dismiss, never making her feel her feelings are too much. Guard my own urge to fix everything for her, and grow in her, gently, the courage to face hard things while she is held. And when she needs a steadier hand than mine, lead us there without a trace of shame. Keep watch over my daughter, Lord; You never sleep. Amen.
