Anxiety robs us of sleep, of energy, of the way we see things. It convinces us we have to solve everything ourselves and that the worst-case scenario is already on its way. And some worries we carry so quietly we rarely say them out loud.

In today’s prayer, Valarie acknowledges what we all know — life is hard, and telling an anxious heart not to worry isn’t simple. But she points to where trust begins: meditating on and memorizing God’s Word, and being intentional about being still instead of rushing to have the answer, because He is the answer. Anchored in Philippians 4:6-7, she encourages us to lay the fear down at the throne, hand God the anxiety, and pick up peace in its place. She prays for the courage to surrender our worries and make a conscious decision not to pick them back up, asking Him to replace anxiety with peace, uncertainty with trust, and guard our hearts and minds with His presence.
