everything that\u2019s weighing on me.<br \/>I trust You to carry what I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>In Jesus\u2019 name,<br \/>Amen.<\/p>\n<h2>Prayer #2: When Anxiety Won\u2019t Let You Rest<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Scripture:<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201cDo not be anxious about anything\u2026 but present your requests to God.\u201d \u2013 Philippians 4:6-7<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lord,<\/p>\n<p>You told me not to be anxious\u2026 but right now, anxiety is trying to take over.<\/p>\n<p>So I bring every worry to You.<br

me trust You more than I trust my thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>In Jesus\u2019 name,<br \/>Amen.<\/p>\n<h2>Prayer #3: When You Feel Out of Control<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Scripture:<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.\u201d \u2013 Proverbs 3:5<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>God,<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening right now.<br \/>And not being in control is hard for me.<\/p>\n<p>But I choose to trust You even when it doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>Help me release control and rest in Your plan.<br \/>Remind me that You see what I can\u2019t see.<\/p>\n<p>I give You my need to figure everything out.<br \/>I choose faith over fear.<\/p>\n<p>In Jesus\u2019 name,<br \/>Amen.<\/p>\n<h2>Prayer #4: For Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Scripture:<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201cYou will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast\u2026\u201d \u2013 Isaiah 26:3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lord,<\/p>\n<p>My mind has been racing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Thought after thought, worry after worry.<\/p>\n<p>Please slow my mind down.<br \/>Quiet
