Worries can often creep in as we lay our heads down to rest, whether it’s about a decision we need to make, a situation beyond our control, or simply the unknowns of tomorrow. Maybe you’re lying awake, replaying conversations or stressing over what lies ahead. But the truth is, God, invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him, as 1 Peter 5:7 says because He deeply cares for us. Think of the story of the disciples in the storm (Mark 4:35-41); even when the winds raged, Jesus calmed the sea with a word. Tonight, know that the same Jesus who calmed the storm is ready to bring peace to your heart.
This Nightly Prayer for Overcoming Tonight’s Worries will help you release your burdens and find rest in God’s care.
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
