“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Psalm 56:3
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”

When Anxiety and Worry Feel Overwhelming
Anxiety can make your mind race ahead of the moment you are actually in. You may replay possibilities, anticipate bad outcomes, struggle to rest, or feel responsible for fixing things you cannot fully control.
What Scripture Reminds Us
Scripture does not shame us for feeling anxious. It repeatedly redirects us toward prayer, God’s presence, His care, and the peace that grows when we place what we cannot control into His hands.
A Prayer for When You Feel Anxious
God, my thoughts feel loud and my mind keeps reaching for what could go wrong. Help me return to this moment and remember that I do not have to carry every possibility at once. Give me wisdom for what I can do, peace about what I cannot control, and confidence that You are with me here. Amen.
