In this article, we cover how to say a prayer for anxiety. We have included bible verses and some accompanying commentary. Just as fear is, anxiety is a thief. It comes to steal, kill and to destroy your joy. In the battlefield that your mind often is. When you start to lose this war, it is hard to carry on. There are many factors that contribute to anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Prayer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Philippians 4:6-7<\/a> New King James Version (NKJV)<\/p>

6 <\/strong>Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving<\/a>, let your requests be made known to God; 7 <\/strong>and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Bible verse<\/a> above is an illustration of how God feels about you being anxious. We are commanded to be anxious for nothing<\/a>! Not a single thing! I will be first to admit that it is not something that you can simply switch off. We are wired to worry. Our minds are always racing to try to find solutions to problems that are not even problems yet. We are often anticipating that things may happen a certain way, which puts us on the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philipian<\/g> 4 gives us a sort of blueprint of how to deal with anxiety. Our response to feeling anxious should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Prayer<\/li>
  2. Supplication<\/li>
  3. Thanksgiving<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In the simplest of terms, we are to lay everything bare before the Lord. What is it that is worrying you? Does the Lord know about it? If he does, do you trust him enough to let him handle it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We often find that we have a tendency to play tug-of-war with the Lord. When we give something into his hands<\/g> but keep trying to figure it out ourselves. It goes back to that old statement, “God helps those that help themselves.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although there is some truth to it, it is not universal. God is the God of the helpless. He is God of those who have<\/g> reached the end of their wit! If you are in a position where you are saying, “I cannot do anything anymore!”<\/strong> that is God’s perfect ground for birthing a miracle. If it can still be done in your own might, it is not yet in the realm of the miraculous. God is a God of the impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you would pray, offer supplication and thanksgiving<\/a>, God’s promise is that he will give you peace that surpasses all understanding. Beyond that, he will give you a long-lasting solution, by guarding your heart and mind so that the fear you have had to deal with would not return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
