Calm Your Anxiety and Restore Your Soul: 7 Days of Breath Prayers

DAY 6 OF 7

God Calms Your Anxious Heart

Breathe Deep and Know: The same God who stills storms to a whisper can calm your anxious heart.

Anxiety can feel like a storm inside you. Thick clouds of fear fill your mind as showers of sorrow and suffering spill from your heart, and the winds of uncertainty blow in from every side. It’s easy to feel tossed on the waves, drowning in a raging sea of worry or pain.

God is powerful. With a word, He can calm the waves. With a breath, He can still the storms. His presence alone turns thunder to a whisper and crashing waves into hushed silence.

The same God who calms the storms of the sea can calm your heart today. The waves of your circumstances may keep rising, and the thunder of fear may continue to boom, but there can be peace and calm in your soul when you focus on the One who is with you rather than the storm surrounding you.

What waves are crashing into you today? What thunder is drowning out His voice?

Name the storm you’re in; then trust that God has the power to calm it to a whisper. Trust that if He doesn’t calm the storm, He will calm you through the storm. He’s riding those waves with you, right by your side.

Today’s Breath Prayer

Inhale: You Still the Storms to a Whisper

Exhale: You Hush the Waves of the Sea

Anxiety. Stress. Worry. How can you give your burdens to God when your heart is hurting and you just don't have the words to say? Breath prayers are short, one-sentence prayers that are directly rooted in Scripture, thought or spoken while breathing deeply. The science of breathing and the practice of praying God’s Word can work hand- in- hand to help calm your body and reorient your mind toward Christ.
