How to pray when you are worried

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything... His peace will guard your hearts and minds.
Philippians 4:6-7

Are you worried today? Have you lost your peace of mind? Begin to pray this prayer until it takes root in your heart and becomes your fixed attitude:

"Father, You told me not to be afraid because You are with me, You will uphold me, and those who come against me will not succeed. (Isaiah 41:10-11).
You said no evil would come upon me, nor any plague touch my home for You have ordered Your angels to protect me. (Psalm 91:10-11).
You said when I walk through rivers of difficulty (when I'm 'in over my head') You won't let me drown, and when I walk through fires of adversity (when 'the heat is on') You won't allow me to get burned for You are watching over me. (Isaiah 43:2-3).
You said no weapon formed against me shall prosper. (Isaiah 54:17).
I cannot keep the enemy's weapons from being formed, but I know You will keep them from prospering. You said if I ask anything according to Your will, You would grant my request. (1 John 5:14-15).
You said when I walk in obedience before You I will be blessed when I come in and blessed when I go out, blessed when I lie down and blessed when I get up. (Deuteronomy 28:6).
You told me to give all my troubles to You and You would take care of me. (1 Peter 5:7).
So here they are!
Today I'm standing on Your Word.
You said it!
I believe it!
That settles it!
Amen."
