Replace dread with faith, and hesitation with hope. Remind me that You haven’t given me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind. Help me take each step boldly, trusting that You will never fail me. Amen.
7. Prayer for Healing from Anxiety 💖
Heavenly Father, You know the weight I carry — the anxious thoughts, the restless nights, the hidden tears. Please bring healing to my mind and heart. Wash away the fear that drains my joy. Teach me to find rest in You, not in temporary fixes.
Replace my anxiety with Your perfect peace and restore my confidence in Your unfailing love. I believe You can heal what I cannot control. Thank You for being my safe place. Amen.
