Your mind keeps running through every worst-case scenario, even the ones that haven’t happened yet. Worry tells you that if you keep thinking about it, you’re keeping it under control.
But worry doesn’t give us control. It only gives the problem more room in our minds. Valarie looks at Peter, who wrote about anxiety from firsthand experience, and how he invites us to be specific with God and to remember why we can let go: because He cares for us, and He cannot lie. Today’s prayer hands Him the worries we’ve been carrying, asking for wisdom for what we can address, faith to release what we can’t control, and His peace to guard our hearts when anxiety returns.
Scripture anchor: 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
