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

DAY 3 OF 7

You Can Surrender Your Worries

Breathe Deep and Know: God cares about you. Give Him all your worries - He’ll carry them, and He’ll carry you.

When life’s many burdens and worries weigh me down, I often have to remind myself that God cares for me. I can give Him my deepest worries, most irrational fears, wounds, and doubts. He carries my cares, and He carries me. He has sustained me until now and will sustain me still— no matter what.

What cares are you holding onto today? What worries are weighing you down? What burdens are heavy on your heart? Take a moment to name them. Write them down. As you pray, lay these worries down—literally, set the words you’ve written down on the floor in front of you—as you would lay them at His feet. Surrender them all to God today.

He wants you to give Him your worries because He cares about you. He already knows the heavy weight that you’re carrying, and He invites you to give it all to Him. Let Him carry you and all your worries, too.
