Worried? You’re Not Alone

Have you ever felt consumed by worry? It can feel like the pressure keeps building and you can’t find a way out. You're not alone. Even strong believers have wrestled with anxiety—and God sees every moment of it.

The apostle Paul understood pressure. In his letter to the Philippians, he wrote from prison, unsure of what the future held. Yet, he chose to encourage others. In Philippians 4:6–7, Paul gives us a powerful reminder. Instead of letting anxiety win, we can turn everything over to God. We do this through prayer, thanksgiving, and honest conversation with Him.

I’ve lived this. For months, I kept returning to the emergency room with the same illness. Each visit brought new fears and uncertainty. But through it all, I never stopped praying. I poured my heart out to God, like Paul taught. I didn’t have all the answers, but I believed one truth: I was not alone.

God guarded my heart and filled me with peace. Not because my circumstances immediately changed but because His presence became more real than the fear.

Maybe you’re in that space right now—waiting, unsure, anxious. God is near. You don’t have to figure everything out today. You can come to Him honestly and let Him carry the weight.

When anxiety rises, God invites us to bring everything to Him—and reminds us we are never alone.

Application Questions:

• What worry or fear do you need to bring honestly to God today?
• How can you create space in your day to pray and feel God’s peace?

Prayer:

"Dear Lord, thank You that I don’t have to carry my worries alone. Teach me to bring every fear to You. Guard my heart with Your peace and remind me that Your presence is greater than anything I face. Amen."
