Remember to Pray

 

I have found that when most people want to drop to their knees in prayer, I tend to drop to my desk and begin making lists of how to fix things. In times of stress, I often need to be reminded to take a moment with a loving God who is always available when I need to find peace. And then I will get started on those lists.

Sara knew I needed that reminder and offered this prayer as a jump start for those moments. 

Prayer for Anxiety

By Sara Hinshaw-Hatten

 

I take my worries of the future

My fears for the day

And my regrets of the past

And I give them all to you

 

I take those I keep in my heart

My wishes for light burdens

My dreams of happy days

 

And I give them all to you

 

I know you love me.

Through that love I find peace.

 

So watch me stand straighter 

with my burdens in your arms.

 

Because you told me through your embrace

To give them all to you
