Anxiety can overwhelm us, turning normal concerns about needs, relationships, and responsibilities into paralyzing fears. Instead of letting these thoughts dominate, we can surrender them to God, trusting in His deep care for us. Through prayer, we exchange anxiety for His peace that transcends understanding, finding strength in a God who is capable and present.
