A Prayer For When You Are Anxious

A Prayer for When You Are Anxious
By ###

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me (Song of Solomon 7:10).
Abba, I Belong To You!
When I first read about the following prayer in a book by ### called,
“The Furious Longing of God,” I thought it sounded too simple but I gave it a try anyway.

This prayer has changed me.
This 5-word prayer has become my "go-to" prayer anytime I feel anxious.
· Driving to the oncologist to get scan results: Abba, I belong to you.
· Waking in the middle of the night with concerns about work or finances: Abba, I belong to you.
· Worrying over a relationship that is struggling to work: Abba, I belong to you.
· Praying for a friend: Abba, [insert name of friend] belongs to you.

As I pray it I find myself remembering who God is: Big, mighty, good, merciful, loving, Abba.
As I pray it I find myself surrendering to who God is: In control, infinite, beyond comprehension, seeking my good.
As I pray it I find myself believing who I am: Human, living in forgiveness, valuable, beloved, desired by God.
Ponder: Are you willing to try praying this prayer everyday for a month and see if it helps your anxiety?
Prayer: I exhale and inhale when I pray it like ### suggested, but I’ve found my own rhythm:

Inhale: Abba
Exhale: I belong
Inhale: to
Exhale:You

I find the combination of breathing and words calm me. This makes sense to me because none of us are only physical or only spiritual.
We are both, so why not use both to find peace when I'm anxious?

This morning I have been feeling a little anxious when I suddenly bumped into this prayer. Thank you I will do the same. It reminds me that God is a Father who is always looking out for His children.

 

[SisterDoreen]

Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me. Not for the years of time alone but for eternity. Love this song so much. It reminds me that no matter what happens to me or to anyone else who belongs to the Lord, we shall be with Him in glory. Worshiping and adoring Him for eternity. What a glorious time we will have when we shall see our Savior and Lord.

 

[Marcuss]

Keep your face always toward the Lord, dark shadows shall fall apart when we are in His presence.
