A Simple Way to Pray

Slow down and name the fear in one sentence.
2.
Make the request known to God without cleaning it up.

Ask for peace to guard your heart and thoughts today.
4.
Release one future scenario you cannot solve right now.
5.
Take one grounding action: breathe, step outside, text someone safe, or rest.

Questions People Ask
Can I pray while I still feel anxious?
Yes. Prayer is not only for calm people. Philippians 4 invites anxious requests to be made known to God.
What should I pray when anxiety is high?
Pray by naming the fear, asking for peace for today, and giving God the future piece by piece instead of pretending you are not afraid.
