Scripture for Anxious Hearts

Philippians 4:6–7
A Prayer for Anxiety
Heavenly Father, thank You for another beautiful day in Your grace. The sun is shining through the trees today, but every day is not like today. Some days are overcast. Clouds cover the sun and its warmth isn’t as strong as on a sunny day like today. Anxiety can be the same way. Some good days, some bad days. On the bad days it is hard to see the light of grace through the clouds. There are worse days that tears stream down our cheeks like rain. Father, it is on these days that we need You to press through the darkness and shine the light of Your countenance upon us. The days when the clouds are so thick a chill runs down our spine. These are the days we need You to send extra help to remind us to pray through the fear that grips our heart. The days we need a trusted friend to take us by the hand and reach through the barrier to the throne room on our behalf. These are the days we need extra grace.
Father, I pray for each one who is trapped in this terrible place today. I pray they feel the prayers of Your children crying out on their behalf as I am today. I pray for Your sweet peace to surround them, fill their ears and minds with the whispers of glory, and stomp out the devil’s fire raging against them. Grant them strength to fight the right way, through prayer and praise. When our hearts are set on You, when our eyes are aimed upward, our whole perspective changes.
Father, thank You for never leaving us nor forsaking us, especially in these times of despair. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
