Finding Peace in Chaos: A Prayer for Anxiety Relief

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7

Anxiety is a normal part of life. We all experience it at different times and levels. However, when anxiety begins to affect our daily lives negatively, it becomes a problem that needs solutions. Luckily for us as Christians, there is always a solution to any problem we face if we turn to God. In the world today that seems so chaotic and uncertain due to the pandemic’s ongoing effect, many individuals suffer from anxiety. It has become frequent for people not to leave their homes or spend time with their loved ones because they fear contracting the virus or infecting others due to contact with them. The destruction caused by COVID-19 includes loss of jobs or reduced income, company closure and downsizing due to social distancing steps enforced around certain regions globally; individuals are looking towards an uncertain future taking care of themselves on their own which have increased stress level resulting in chronic anxiety disorders. However, even before the outbreak of this global pandemic – everyday situations like moving houses or losing one’s job could cause panicked responses leading up an individual chronic feeling of fear. We may feel helpless during such circumstances when chaos surrounds us entirely- The good news is that these negative feelings need not weigh us down completely; instead – With prayer support from family members, trusted friends along your journey might allow you finding relief through those troubling moments whilst reflecting on biblical verses aimed toward our emotional stability during challenging seasons: “Do not worry about your life since we can’t add even an hour more living our lives worrying constantly about tomorrow” – (Matther 6:27) God has promised to bring us peace that surpasses all understanding, but we have a duty to ask and turn to Him for relief. Praying God’s words will also serve as a source of strength as it provides comfort and reassurance of His devotion towards providing for all our needs despite the situation around us. Instead of dwelling on situations we cannot control, let the knowledge that God is in control be our source of comfort. It is normal and healthy to feel anxious at times, but when it becomes overwhelming, let’s take a moment to stop and pray this prayer:

Dear Lord, I come before you today burdened with anxiety caused by these difficult circumstances. My heart feels heavy with worry about tomorrow’s uncertainties due COVID-19 disruption global wide which caught so many people unprepared leaving us in chaos during this pandemic season. Our faith has taken beating from this pandemic; causing some dismay in approaching what was once considered normalcy – Help Heal us Lord! I ask for your guidance through these trying times because my strength is limited while my worries are rampant; therefore – I humbly call out unto You asking your divine hand over me concerning every aspect governing my life amidst what seems like constant turmoil. Bring order into every aspect of our existence ranging from financal stability, health oversight so that healing can come upon those struggling deeply with other ailments which becomes an additional cause or contributing factor inducing extra stressors upon individuals during these time of uncertainty. Renew me from within that I may experience your Holy Spirit’s refreshing leading me away from despairing thoughts or fearsome emotions preventing an individual needlessly carrying burdens meant for Christ alone – as You’ve promised through Your words affirming “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden and find rest for their souls” (Matthew 11:28). Thank you that Your love comes freely towards Saving Souls such as ours and comforting our troubled hearts. Help your strength rest upon us even now, ending this prayer with faith knowing You are working and providing solutions while bringing Peace in the midst of chaos. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
