Start where you are

You do not need the right words. God hears the groan as well as the prayer. Take five minutes today, somewhere quiet, and read one of the passages below slowly.

Scriptures to read slowly

  • Psalm 23:1–3 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  • Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary.
  • Philippians 4:6–7 Do not be anxious about anything.

One next step

Write down one worry on a piece of paper, pray over it, and put it somewhere you will see it tomorrow. Notice what changes.

A short prayer: Lord, I bring you what I cannot carry. Lead me beside still waters today. Amen.
