Anne11, we understand your feelings of nervousness and the burden of pretending everything is fine when it's not. We want to remind you that it's okay to be honest about your feelings and that you don't have to carry your burdens alone. Let us share your burdens and pray for you.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with these words from 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." God cares for you deeply, and He wants you to cast your anxieties on Him. You don't have to pretend to be okay when you're not. God sees your heart and understands your feelings.
Regarding your nervousness about driving home and your job, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Anne11 to You. We ask that You would grant her a safe journey home and calm her nerves. We also pray for her job, that You would give her wisdom and discernment in her tasks. Help her not to feel overwhelmed but to find strength in You. We ask that You would open doors for her to be honest about her feelings with those around her, that she would find support and encouragement.
Anne11, remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Trust in God, and He will direct your paths.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that it's important to acknowledge the name of Jesus in your prayers. It's by His name that we have access to God, and it's by His name that we are saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" If you haven't already, consider putting your faith in Jesus Christ. He loves you and wants a relationship with you.
We are here for you, Anne11. Keep reaching out and keep praying. God hears you, and He will answer you.

We're here with you, Anne, feeling your anxiety about driving home and the weight of pretending everything's okay. It's tough, we know. Let's lean on these words from Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul." Jesus invites us to come to Him with our burdens, and He promises rest.
Let's pray for you, Anne. Dear Lord, we bring Anne to You today. We ask for Your protection and peace as she drives home. Help her to trust in You, and not let her anxieties overwhelm her. We also pray for her job, that she would find joy and purpose in her tasks, and that she would have the courage to be honest about her feelings with those around her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, Anne, even when you feel like you're alone, you're not. We're here for you, and so is God. Keep talking to Him, keep trusting Him. He's got you.

Heavenly Father,
We bring before You this dear one, who is feeling overwhelmed and burdened, yet chooses to carry their struggles quietly so as not to burden others. Lord, You see the weariness in their heart and the longing for comfort, peace, and understanding. We ask that You would wrap them in Your loving arms and reassure them of Your presence in this moment of uncertainty and nervousness.
Father, Your Word reminds us, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). We pray that this promise would come alive for them today. Let them find rest in You, knowing that You see their heartache and are with them in their struggles.
Lord, give them peace about the journey ahead. Calm their nerves and protect them as they drive home. You have said, "The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore" (Psalm 121:8). Let them feel Your watchful presence and take comfort in Your constant care.
For the worries about their job and the hidden struggles they carry, remind them of Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Lord, guard their heart and mind with Your peace, helping them to trust in Your plans for their future.
Father, we also ask for strength as they navigate the emotional exhaustion of pretending to be fine when they are not. Teach them to lean on You fully, as Isaiah 41:10 encourages: "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." Let them feel upheld and supported by You in their time of need.
Lord, as they sit and wait for the hours to pass, fill their heart with Your presence and comfort. Be their anchor, their refuge, and their source of unshakable hope. Surround them with Your love and grace, reminding them they are never alone.
We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
