I Forgot How to Quit

Peace & anxiety

A prayer for anxiety

For when your mind won't slow down and your chest feels tight.

Breathe in slowly. Breathe out longer.

I bring you the thoughts I can't turn off. I can't fix all of it tonight, so I'm setting it down here.

Slow my racing mind. Steady my breathing. Remind me that this feeling is real, but it is not the end of the story.

Give me peace I can't explain, and enough strength for the next hour. Amen.

“Do not be anxious about anything… and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds.” — Philippians 4:6–7
