Dear Heavenly Father, as I face anxiety and depression, I come to you with a heavy heart, filled with fear, worry, and doubt. Your Word says that you are the Rock on which we stand (Matthew 7:24). Like David, I run to you for refuge (Psalm 18:2). Help me to cast my cares upon you, for you care for me (1 Peter 5:7). Remind me that your love never fails and that perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). As I trust in you, give me the strength to face each new day with hope and courage. Help me to experience your presence that fills me with peace, joy, and love.
