A prayer for you

Prayer for My Wife With Anxiety

When your wife is weighed down by anxiety, you may not know how to help; here are words for a husband who wants to.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
Psalm 138:3 (WEBBE)

Lord, my wife is carrying anxiety that wears her down, and I love her and often do not know how to help. Your word remembers a God who answers when we call and puts new strength in the soul — so strengthen my wife in the deep-down place where her own strength runs thin. Meet her in the early-morning dread and the racing what-ifs. Show me the practical ways to lighten her load: the task I can quietly take off her plate, the reassurance she actually needs, the moment to simply sit with her instead of solving. Keep me patient when her anxiety makes no logical sense to me, because it is real to her. Guard me from ever making her feel broken. And lead us both toward the help that steadies her — people, support, whatever she needs — all of it held together by You. Strengthen my wife's soul, Lord, and make me a help and not a weight. Amen.
