Four Inspiring Prayers To Turn Your Worries Into Trust In God

My go-to verse to read when I am anxious or worried is Philippans 4:6-7. I love the fact that it does not ignore the fact that Christians battle with anxiety nor condemn us for being anxious humans. But it rather suggests a way out of the predicament. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Often, when reading these Scripture, I wonder at the awesomeness of God, especially His love and intentionality. Because Philipians 4: 6-7 is one of those verses offering a step to step solution to handling one of the many mental challenges facing society – anxiety. 

From the verses, we understand that prayer is a key weapon in battling anxiety or worry. It suggest that when we are faced with problems of challenges, rather than worry, we should turn to God in prayer. And in return, we get the peace of God which passes all understanding – wholesome.

However, it is one thing to know that prayer is the ultimate solution for worry and anxiety, and it is another thing to know what to pray in order to experience the kind of peace the Bible talks about 

Today’s post offers a collection of uplifting prayers designed to transform worries into unwavering trust in God.
