Lord, my mind keeps jumping from one worry to the next. Even when nothing is happening, I find myself expecting something to go wrong. You know what I'm carrying today. Please help me with the things I can't seem to put down.

I don't have all the answers, and I'm tired of trying to work everything out at once. Help me deal with what needs my attention today. Give me patience with the things that will take longer, and help me ask for support when I need it.

When I'm short with someone because I'm anxious, help me notice and make it right. Keep worry from deciding how I treat the people I love. Help me listen, speak honestly, and leave room for a little kindness in the middle of a difficult day.

Thank you for the people who care about me, even when I struggle to explain what's wrong. Help me accept their kindness. Please be close to anyone who feels alone with their worries and doesn't know who to turn to.

I trust you with the things I can't control. Stay with me as I take the next step. Help me rest when it's time to rest, without trying to solve tomorrow tonight. Amen.
