Lord, I have been worrying — turning the same fears over and over, rehearsing outcomes that may never come. Your word offers a peace the world cannot give, and a gentle invitation not to let my heart stay troubled. I want that peace, even though my mind keeps reaching for the worry like a familiar habit. So I am handing You the things I cannot control, the what-ifs that keep me up. Help me leave them in Your hands tonight instead of carrying them back to bed. When the worry returns, and it will, help me bring it to You again rather than feeding it. Steady my heart for today; tomorrow has its own grace that has not arrived yet. And if this keeps getting heavier, give me the courage to talk to someone, because I was never meant to manage it alone. Your peace, Lord — I receive what I can hold of it. Amen.
A prayer for you
Prayer for Worry
Worry loves to rehearse tomorrow's worst; this is a place to set some of it down, even just for tonight.
“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.”
