Overcomer: Defeating Anxiety and AbuseSample

Today, we want to make another lists of sorts: we want you to take some time to focus on "what is true," and "noble," and "lovely," and "pure," like Philippians 4:8 says. Make a list of all of the things that you have to be thankful for, past and present. Make a list of all the ways that God has shown up in your life before, so that you can hold onto all of the good and fulfilled promises in your life for when anxiety comes for you again.

Pray this prayer:

Dear Father, thank you for creating me so beautifully complex. Thank you for not making a mistake with me. You already know that anxiety is trying to claim a foothold over my life, but today I surrender my anxiety and mental health in your hands. You are my creator, my healer, and my savior. I ask you to guard my heart and my mind and to teach me how to overcome anxiety and live in your perfect peace. 

In Jesus’ name,

amen.
