Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’ s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NLT).
The churning inside me never stops; days of suffering confront me (Job 30:27; NIV).
‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Mark 12; 31; NLT).
Lord,
Thank you for my anxiety.
Even though it’s hard to bear,
I welcome it as a friend.
Help me to listen
To its warning voice,
And to learn
Everything it has to teach me –
About my boundaries,
My limitations,
And how I can protect myself
From further harm.
Through Jesus’ name,
Amen.
