Before You and only You, Father God, I cast the anxious thoughts of my heart. Take my trembling hand and guide me out of the valley of ‘what ifs.’ Show me the way out of the territory of worse-case scenarios that currently play like an endless movie on the screen of my mind. There are days when my thoughts are consumed by negativity. My unfounded fears keep me from moving forward or taking action. The unknown consequences of my decisions are shadowy illusions that taint the path to the future. Help me stand in the calm waters of Your Word. My times are in Your hands. As long as You are with me, I need not be afraid. Your presence is my peace and my solace. Father, keep my eyes steady on You. My mind is not hidden from Your sight. Even from afar, You know my thoughts. Do not allow deceptive lies to dominate the space where truth rightfully reigns. Shine Your light on the shadows of my mind and heart. Reveal the open wounds that need healing. The unhealthy mantras I tell myself can be silenced beneath the canopy of Your grace. The broken pieces that are sharpened by outside offenses cannot cut me if my shield of faith is in place. Your love is the balm that heals, the truth that deafens condemnation, and the glue that puts the pieces back together. Thank You for letting me cast my anxiety on You because I know You care for me. Under the blessed assurance of Your Word in Psalm 32:7 & 1 Peter 5:7 and the authority of Christ, I bow in prayer.

You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Psalm 32:7, NIV

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, NIV
