A Prayer Not to Be Scared

Lord, right now I am scared. My heart is pounding and my thoughts race ahead of me. I come to You just as I am.

Wrap me in Your peace. Remind me that You are near, closer than my fear. Help me breathe slowly and rest in Your care.

Replace my fear with trust. Give me courage for this moment, and the next, and all that comes after. I do not have to face it alone.

Thank You for holding me when I am afraid. I lay my fear in Your hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this whenever fear rises, whether it is a sudden worry or a dread that lingers. Say it slowly, breathing between the lines, and let the words steady you. You can return to it as often as you need.
