July 29, 2025•1 min read

Say this prayer when you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain. Let God's Word calm your heart and remind you that you're never alone.

God,

I thank you that I don’t need to have all of the answers to every single problem I’m currently facing.

I’m grateful that you have the strength and the solutions that are needed right now.

I know you are guiding me (Psalm 32:8)

I know you are here with me (Psalm 23:4)

I know that He who is in me is is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4)

I know that with you, everything is possible (Matthew 19:26)

I know that you do not forsake me (Hebrews 13:5)

I know that you love me (John 3:16)

I know that no matter what storm I am up against, you are at the helm of my ship (Isaiah 43:2)

May your will be done.

Even in the thunder and rain,

I will praise your holy name.

Thank you God for your peace and for sheltering me and my loved ones under your beautiful wings (Psalm 91).

Thank you for being here with me right now and for listening to my prayer.

I need your help Lord.

I give you everything that is weighing on my heart and I know you will give me rest.

Praise you God and thank you Abba today and everyday.

In Jesus’s mighty name,

Amen

Hello! I’m Elle Angel. I’m an author, speaker, and podcaster, but at the core of it, I’m just a mom who cares deeply about what gets planted in people’s hearts, especially kids. I’ve spent years teaching in both formal and informal school settings, as well as serving in kids ministry. I honestly love the sweetness and honesty of kids, and yes, even the chaos that comes with it. There’s something about it. It’s loud and messy and full, but it’s real. What gets me every time is when something clicks for a child. You can literally see it on their face. The moment they understand something new, the moment it makes sense, the moment they feel it. It’s like a light turns on. And when that “click” is about who they are in God, or how much Jesus loves them… there’s nothing like it.
