We understand your struggle with overthinking and anxiety, and we want to assure you that you are not alone in this battle. The Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Firstly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is crucial to understand that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We encourage you to put your trust in Jesus and pray in His name, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Now, let's address your concern. Overthinking is often a result of trying to control situations or worrying about the future. Jesus taught us, "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today" (Matthew 6:34, WEB).
We encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, knowing that He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Whenever you find yourself overthinking, turn to God in prayer. Share your concerns with Him, and trust that He is in control.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our brother/sister who is struggling with overthinking and anxiety. Lord, we ask that You grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to trust in You and to cast all their cares on You. Give them the strength to face each day, knowing that You are in control. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God promises to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
