🌿 Meditative Prayer for the Overthinking & Anxious Heart

If your mind has been busy with thoughts you can’t quiet, and you’ve been carrying worry, fear, or the weight of decisions you can’t seem to make, this Prayer for Overthinking and Anxiety is for you. Take a deep breath and let this moment guide you back to peace.

  1. Dear Lord,
    I come with a mind that won’t rest.
    Thoughts keep racing—replaying the past, worrying about the future.
    I feel like I can’t shut it off.
  2. I confess the weight of this anxiety.
    The tension in my body,
    the tightness in my chest,
    the nights I’ve struggled to sleep,
    and the days where my mind feels too crowded to focus.
  3. I admit the fear that creeps in—
    the fear of making the wrong choice,
    the fear of what might go wrong.
    Sometimes I even doubt myself.
    Sometimes I even wonder if I’m truly trusting You.
  4. I try to figure everything out on my own,
    and it leaves me weary, confused, and restless.
    But deep down… I’m longing for peace.
    I’m longing to be still.
    I’m longing to feel You close.
  5. So right now, in this moment, I pause.
    I breathe in Your presence.
    I release every what if,
    every unfinished thought,
    every burden that was never meant to be mine alone.
  6. Your Word reminds me:
    “Cast all your anxieties on the One who cares for you.”
    So I do that now.
    I place every worry into Your loving hands.
  7. Quiet the storm in my mind.
    Replace the chaos with Your calm.
    Wrap me in the peace that only You can give—
    the peace that goes beyond understanding.
  8. I don’t have to have all the answers,
    because You already hold tomorrow.
    I don’t have to control everything,
    because I am safe in Your care.
  9. Thank You for lifting this heaviness.
    Thank You for renewing my mind
    and guarding my heart with perfect peace.
  10. In this moment, I choose to rest.
    I choose to trust.
    I choose to be still…
    and know that You are God.

Amen.
