Are you suffering from panic attacks? Is anxiety ripping you off joy and peace? Then this prayer for anxiety and panic attacks will fix that:
“Father, quieten my heart and steady my breathing. Saturate my heart with Your peace and push fear out of my heart. Your word says you will keep me in perfect peace if my heart stays on You. I put my trust in You. I believe you are with me and I am safe in You. These panic attacks are not my reality and so I ask that Your presence calm my mind right now. Hold me steady, reassure me Lord Jesus, and I will praise and rejoice in You forever. Amen.”
That is one prayer for anxiety and panic attacks that will work effectively for you.
I have also provided five more prayers for anxiety and panic attacks that you can continue to use to pray until those episodes of panic attacks stop and you experience total peace.
I need you to know that panic attacks and anxiety is not God’s plan for you. The Bible even says that we should not be anxious about anything – Philippians 4:6.
This is why you must deal with anxiety – it prevents you from receiving anything from God.
Yes, anxiety is a tool in the hands of the devil. It is as terrible as anger, as bitterness, and so on.
So pray these prayers for anxiety and panic attacks with all anger in your spirit.
1. “Lord, calm my mind and silence every storm.”
Scripture: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on You, because they trust in You.” — Isaiah 26:3.
Father, I ask that You keep my mind steady and let Your peace override the fear that is rising in me. I ask that my mind be fixed on thoughts of You, Your word, and promises to me and let these drown the anxiety in my heart. Give me peace O Lord.
Sometimes, anxiety is sponsored by our recognition of our incapacity. If you feel like you cannot do something yourself or you do not have the means to achieve something, one response could be anxiety.
It is a wrong one.
Your only response should be trusting firmly in God. That is what this prayer for anxiety and panic attacks does for you.
2. “God, fill my heart with Your peace instead of fear.”
Scripture: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7
Lord, place Your peace over my heart and let it stand guard keeping fear and panic from me. I receive peace instead of fear and I live in that reality from today.
The only cure to fear is the peace of the Lord. This is not some temporal assurance of safety. This is the faith that God is with You and He is for you. That is peace and when you pray this prayer for anxiety and panic attacks, you automatically begin to live in that reality.
3. “Lord, break the spirit of fear attacking me.”
Scripture: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7.
For a lot of people, anxiety and panic attacks are projections of the spirit of fear. This prayer for anxiety and panic attacks is one of warfare. You are attacking the spirit that sponsors fear – there is a spirit that does this and until you deal with it, no matter the coping mechanism, you will not defeat fear.
Pray this prayer:
God, this fear is not from You. So I reject it. Give me power where I feel weak, love where I feel unsafe, and a sound mind where panic tries to scatter my thoughts.
4. “Father, I surrender every burden weighing on my heart.”
Scripture: “Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7.
Lord, I empty my heart before You and I put these worries – these uncertainties, the pressure, the fear I feel – I put them all in Your hands and I ask that You carry these burdens for me because I cannot hold them again.
This prayer is just obedience to the word of God. He specifically asks us to cast our anxiety on Him because He cares for us.
I mean what are we anxious about when He has already said we should bring those anxieties to Him and the reason is because He cares about us.
Cmon now.
He cares. God cares about how you feel and that includes even the smallest things. Your hairline that’s receding? He cares. The pimple in your forehead that’s making you worry? He cares about these little details.
Don’t believe that?
See what the word says:
Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? – Matthew 6:26 (AMP).
If God cares about the birds and plants are you not more important than them?
So why are you worried that He doesn’t care about the nitty-gritty of your life?
The hair on your head is numbered. Is it something as terrible as the fear in your heart that He won’t want to tackle?
5. “God, strengthen me when I feel overwhelmed.”
Scripture: “When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2.
A lot of times, you get to feel anxious and get these panic attacks because you are overwhelmed.
We have all been there.
So pray this prayer for anxiety and panic attacks when it is because you are feeling overwhelmed:
Lord, I am overwhelmed but I know that You are more than the things I worry about. So, I can come to You today knowing that I can find strength in You. You are stronger than my fear, than this task, than the situation at hand, than my panicking. Thank You Lord, Amen.
Conclusion
I am sure that with these prayers, anxiety and panic attacks will be gone from your life.
Here’s a final note, nobody really gets over anxiety. It is a constant battle of life so you have to constantly fight the devil and never allow him have the final say.
