Dear Precious Friends,
On this Beautiful new day, this gift from God, I pray you are embracing this day as the gift it us, knowing God has a purpose for our lives and we are to be a blessing to those in need. We need His guidance now more than ever.
When anxiety tries to knock on our door, we remember the prescription for a cure... It's found in God's word. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7
When anxiety tries to grip us, it's the signal to STOP... Drop to our knees and Pray... God's word reminds us to immediately go to him for the renewing of our mind. Claim a scripture that fits the needs of our circumstance. Pray it over and over... Pray His promises over our life. He loves us so much and will give us peace that passes all understanding. Here are just a few of the 7,147 promises for us:

Here is a Prayer is Taken from an online Bible.
This is most certainly my prayer, and I think for each of us it is a great prayer.
Holy Spirit,
You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs, and You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence, and nothing I could hide from You!
And that’s why, right now, I am asking You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance.
I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision—but I want to live a life that honors You.
Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what’s ahead—You see me. And You know me. So please guide me. Show me the paths that lead to abundant life, and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You.
As You guide me, restore me. I will place my hope in You at all times because You know all things, and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and You have become my salvation.
So hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have given me. Direct my steps as You guard my life, because I want to glorify You.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
