Peace over Anxiety (3)


Read: Jeremiah 17:7-8

Hello!


I trust you have been well, thank you for checking in again!  In the previous series of this topic, we’ve been able to see practical ways from the scripture to deal with anxiety. There is so much peace that comes with bringing our worries to God, having faith that He can help us scale through, and being grateful for what he has done and will do. Today, we will be looking at a prayer guide to help us get over anxiety and embrace the peace that God has given to us freely.


Let’s dive!


Here are some thoughtful prayer points with Psalms to help as a guide when dealing with anxiety:


Express your gratitude to God 

Dear God, I thank You for always being there for me. Thank You for your lovingkindness and tender mercies towards me. Thank You for always being a present help when I am in need. Thank You for never leaving or forsaking me. I am grateful for all that You do and all that You are to me.

Ask God for mercy

Dear God, I come before You today and ask for Your mercy. Please forgive me for the times when I was in doubt and the times when I found it hard to trust You. Please forgive all my shortcomings and help me to believe in Your power more than ever before.

Read: Psalm 51


Pray for Inner Peace

Dear God, please fill my heart with peace and calm every storm within me. Please take my burdens and give me peace that I have never experienced before. Take away every fear of the unknown and fill me with peace that I can not comprehend.

Ask God to help you let go of worries

Dear God, there are a lot of things I am worried about and I acknowledge that only You can help me. Please take away my worries and fill my heart with peace instead. Help me to believe in You more and more, and to understand Your master plan for my life. Help me to understand that I am a work in progress and that You are perfecting every little detail of my life.

Ask God to help you trust in Him

Dear God, please help me trust You at all times. Help me to understand the greatness of Your power and that You are more than able to protect me, preserve me, heal me, provide for me and give me peace in difficult times.

Ask God for strength

Dear God, I believe that all power comes from You and that You have not given me the spirit of fear. Therefore, I come against every spirit of fear making me see myself too weak to scale through my challenges. I receive the strength to pull through every tough time and I believe that I will win at last. I have the power of God at work in me and I declare that I have victory over anything that troubles my mind!

Read: Psalm 91


Commit tomorrow to God’s hands

Dear God, I may not know what will happen tomorrow, but I am at peace because You know all things. You know my beginning and end, and You hold the universe in Your hands. Please guide me through every step I take, let Your word be a light unto my paths, and let Your light illuminate my mind so that I may do all things according to Your will and purpose. My tomorrow is in Your hands and I know You will always be with me.

Psalm 27


Keep in mind

God loves you so much, that He will never leave you to live in fear, anxiety or depression. Open your heart unto God and allow Him to help you overcome your troubles.


Have a peaceful week!

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
