Prayer When Worried

By Norman Vincent Peale

Dear Lord, I’m worried and full of fear. Anxiety and apprehension fill my mind. Could it be that my love for Thee is weak and imperfect and, as a result, I am plagued by worry?

I have tried to reassure myself that there is nothing to worry about. But such reassurances do not seem to help. I know that I should just rest myself confidently upon Thy loving care and guidance. But I have been too nervous even to do that.

Touch me, Dear Lord, with Your peace and help my disturbed mind to know that You are God and that I need fear no evil. In Christ’s name, I offer this prayer.
Amen.
