Prayer is a powerful tool for getting free from anxiety. Millions of people use it everyday to help them stay centered and at peace. If you have never tried it, give it a shot.
Many people wonder, "How do you pray to God?" It's really not hard at all.
First of all, find a quiet place and turn off your phone, computer, etc...
Then, just start talking to God. He's listening.
Try talking to him out loud. Praying out loud can be incredibly liberating. So just start...
Tell God all your worries and fears. Tell him about your wounds. Open up your heart to his Spirit and let him begin to free you and heal you.
If you have trouble getting started you can try phrases like:
Dear Lord, please hear me…
Loving Father, I need your help with…
Jesus, Please help me stop worrying about...
Just let it all out. You can cry, shout, whisper or even scream if you have to. Your heavenly Father wants to hear you. He wants to help you.
Communication with God is a dialog. After you are done praying (yes, all that talking and even shouting was prayer!) just sit silently for a bit and listen. See if God has something to say to your heart.
Then, if you have a Bible, open it up to a favorite chapter of yours and begin to read. Read the Psalms. There is an incredible amount of lessons to be learned about trusting God in the Psalms.
Remember at some time in your prayer that Jesus gave his life for you. This means that you can stand before God with confidence no matter what has occurred in your life.
Many blessings to you!
