Prayer For Anxiety
Matthew 18:19
Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
When the Restlessness Feels Uncontrollable, God Still Hears Me
Inspiration
Maybe you’ve been carrying a nervous tension you can’t shake.
Maybe anxiety has crept in quietly, stealing your peace, your focus, your rest—and worst of all, your calm.
But let me tell you something you need to hear today:
God can calm your anxiety. And He is restoring your peace.
You’re not overwhelmed beyond hope. You’re not trapped forever. This storm is not your permanent home.
The same God who formed your heart knows how to soothe it. He sees your worries, understands your restless nights, and is nearer than you realize.
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
God is not distant or indifferent—He’s moving toward you with peace in His hands. You may feel tangled, but God says you’re held.
Calm is growing again.
📖 Reflection
David, a man after God’s own heart, wrote:
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”
— Psalm 42:11 (NIV)
He didn’t deny his anxiety—he acknowledged it and chose to speak hope to his soul. That encourages me. Even in my anxious moments, I can choose to say, “I will yet praise Him.”
Anxiety is real—but so is God’s presence.
Restlessness is real—but so is His peace.
Fear is real—but so is His calming power.
When I feel like my mind is racing out of control, I remind myself: I am still held steady by the One who formed me.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
— John 14:27 (NIV)

Prayer for Healing and Peace
Father God,
You see every part of me—the racing thoughts, the heavy heart, and the silent fears I try to hide.
Thank You for never turning away from me, even in my most restless moments.
Thank You for being the God who calms the storm inside.
I come to You honestly today. I’m weary. I’m anxious. But I still believe that You are my Peace.
I believe You’re not just near—you’re powerful.
And You are able to restore the calm that anxiety tried to steal.
Speak peace to my heart again, Lord. Let Your perfect peace wash over me.
Wrap me in Your love. Show me that You’re still writing my story—
and that calm is still part of my future.
In the name of Jesus, I invite You into this battle for my mind and emotions.
I trust that You are doing a healing work in me—even now.
Amen.
Declaration
Father, Even here—especially here—You are with me.
When the restless thoughts press in, I remember: You are my peace.
When fear tries to overwhelm me, I lean into Your truth that never changes.
I declare that this anxiety is not my identity.
I am not my fears.
I am not what I feel.
I am a beloved child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made.
I receive Your peace in every tangled place.
I receive calm where worry tried to stay.
I receive strength where I’ve been weary.
You are not finished with me.
You are restoring what the enemy tried to steal.
And I will yet praise You—not because I feel calm,
But because I know You are my peace.
I will rise again. I will breathe again. I will live again.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
