When our hearts feel anxious and overwhelmed, it’s easy to start carrying everything on our own and worrying about what’s ahead. In these times, we’re reminded that we don’t have to handle it all. God invites us to place our worries in His care and find peace in trusting Him. Pause and pray this with me.

Dear God,

Lately, I’ve been feeling anxious over everything in my life, worrying about the future and questioning how to move forward. My heart feels heavy and my mind is clouded, as all of this feels too much to bear. But I know how deeply you care for me and how you are always here to protect me, so today I come to you to cast all my anxiety on you.

I have this tendency to handle everything alone, but I no longer can live like this—so I’m handing it all over to you. Help me experience the peace and freedom that comes from trusting in your care, and remind me to turn to you in all of the upcoming anxious moments I may have. I trust that you will handle everything perfectly because you care for me.

Amen.
