Monday

Psalm 55:22; Philippians 4:6–7

When we bring our anxieties to God in prayer, He replaces our worry with a peace that surpasses all understanding.

This Week's Practice

Each time an anxious thought surfaces this week, stop and pray it out loud — hand it to God in the moment rather than carrying it through the day.

Wednesday

Prayer is not our last resort — it is the first place we bring every burden, knowing God is faithful to carry what we cannot.

A Question to Sit With

What anxiety have you been carrying this week that you haven't fully handed over to God in prayer?

Friday

Prayer

Father, I lay every worry at Your feet today. Thank You that You are not overwhelmed by what overwhelms me. Guard my heart and mind this weekend. Amen.

Weekend Nudge

This weekend, every time an anxious thought arises, turn it into a prayer — even just one sentence to God is enough.
