Someone's prayer

God, sometimes when I look at the world around me, I feel overwhelmed by anxiety, and my thoughts start to spiral. I need you to change the way I think.

Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts, and your ways are better than mine. You give hope to the hopeless, and strength to the weak. You alone can renew my mind and remind me of my purpose.

Help me to take every thought captive as I give you my concerns. Remind me that you are with me, and that you will continue to instruct and guide me.

Counsel me as I reflect on your Word, and help me to apply your truths to my life. Give me strength to do right, and help me to pursue you above all else—always.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
