My God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I ask the Lord to send for my life their powerful Holy Spirit so that He may bestow upon me the infinite blessings from Him and deeply calm my heart, my spirit, my mind, the my nerves, my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions and my whole body and life.
Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, restore all the nerve cells of my body, my professional, emotional, sentimental and spiritual balance. Father, please take my life all the evil spirits of black magic, voodoo, witchcraft, sympathies, witchcraft or any other evil work that is causing in my life all sorts of trouble, distress, anxiety, nervousness, fear, doubt, worry, anxiety or any kind or bad quality that was sent to my life in order to take my peace, physical, emotional, professional, emotional or spiritual balance.
My God, the victorious name of the Lord Jesus, I thank you for already powerful deliverance, deliverance, and complete renovation that the Lord has done in all areas of my life. Amen!
A big hug and be with God

Your nerves are starting to take over and your mind is swirling around the same worries.
You want to stay calm, but you can’t. You can’t just turn it off.
Your heart is racing; it’s hard to sleep or concentrate.
Your appetite isn’t all there.
You feel weak. Depleted.
What can make it stop?
In the Bible we read about the many times David lived in danger, including the years he was forced to hide from Saul. And yet he penned this: “I lift my eyes up to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2).
David wasn’t a fictional character. He was a real man with real anxieties. He lived and breathed on this Earth just as you and I do today.
Having suffered with anxiety for so many years of my life, I know exactly how tormenting this can feel. I know exactly how alone and weird and terrified you feel to have the same thoughts and fears gripping you to the core.
Other people can shake things off, but for you it’s not the same. It’s an absolute affliction. I know it exactly.
I’ve learned to cut back on caffeine (which helps my nerves in general) and keep faith in tough times. But it was through the Bible that I found what brought peace to my heart on a deep level. A core level. A healing level.

Ways We Can Use Bible Verses to Calm Us
After all the searching and seeking, it was God’s word that brought me to the center. And not empty, but full.
David’s story particularly touched my life, and so do these verses. When I read them I remember I’m not alone. They bring me peace. They calm me. I pray they help you too.
Read them. Say them. Pray them. Meditate on them. Print them and take them with you. Email them to yourself. Text them as prayer messages to a friend. Do what you need to do!
Just keep them close. They’re God’s words; they will not return void.
Isaiah says, “So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
When we suffer with anxiety and worry, we can reach for these reminders.

“In God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 56:11)
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5:7-10)

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
“He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:29-31)
“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, ‘Abba, Father.’” (Romans 8:15)
“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
Pastor Rick Warren once wrote, “The more you pray, the less you’ll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You’ll feel more patient and less pressured.”
This is your opportunity to face you fear in faith.
Allow God into the dark places of your heart.
And as you consider more help and resources, keep coming back to the God’s Word for relieving worry. Remember, His Word won’t come back empty. That’s a promise.

Slow Me Down
Slow me down, Lord!
Ease the pounding of my heart
By the quieting of my mind.
Steady my harried pace
With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me,
Amidst the confusions of my day,
The calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves
With the soothing music
Of the singing streams
That live in my memory.
Help me to know
The magical power of sleep,
Teach me the art
Of taking minute vacations
Of slowing down
To look at a flower;
To chat with an old friend
Or make a new one;
To pet a dog;
To watch a spider build a web;
To smile at a child;
Or to read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day
That the race is not always won by the swift;
That there is more to life
Than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward
Into the branches of the towering oak
And know that it grew great and strong
Because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down, Lord,
And inspire me to send my roots deep
Into the soil of life’s enduring values
That I may grow toward the stars
Of our greater destiny.- Offered by Dave Johnson and Kyra Shahid; Written by Orin L. Crain
Your Peace
God, who is more than we can ever comprehend,
help us to seek you,
and you alone.
Help us to stand before all that we could do
and seek what you would do,
and do that.
Lift from us our need to achieve all that we can be
and instead,
surrender to what you can be in us.
Give us ways to refrain from the busyness
that will put us on edge and off center,
give us today your peace.
Amen.

I Want To Be Available
Holy and perfect God,
you know I want to be available.
Help that desire sink deeply enough into my being
for me to actually change
and to say “no” to a least one worthy, but not urgent, task today.
Give me the ability to be open to the life I am leading;
not the one I am planning to lead.
Amen.

A Prayer for Inner Peace
Lord, please put Your peace in my heart.
I’m worried and anxious.
My mind races and obsesses.
I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them,
the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand
and can’t get out.
Calm me, Lord.
Slow me down, put Your peace in my heart.
No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.
I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
I do not know how You will use this problem for my salvation.
I do not know what good You will workout from this evil.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.
Amen.

Prayer for Peace and Calm
Dear Lord and Father of humankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.
– John Greenleaf Whittier

Within Our Reach: Joy
There is nothing I can give you which you have not;
But there is much, very much, that while I cannot give,
You can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take peace!
The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our
Reach is joy.
Take joy!
There is a radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see,
And to see we have only to look.
I beseech you to look!
Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by the covering,
Cast them away as ugly, or heavy, or hard.
Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor,
Woven of love, by wisdom, with power.
Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel’s hand
That brings it to you.
Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty
Believe me, that angel’s hand is there, the gift is there,
And the wonder of an overshadowing presence.
Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys.
They, too, conceal diviner gifts.
Life is so full of meaning and purpose,
So full of beauty beneath its covering-
That you will find earth but cloaks your heaven.
And so, at this time, I greet you.
Not quite as the world sends greetings,
But with profound esteem
And with the prayer that for you, now and forever,
The day breaks, and all the shadows flee away.
– Fra Giovanni, Christmas Eve, 1513 A.D.
