Putting it into practice
- 1Name the worry. Write one sentence: “I feel anxious about ___.”
- 2Choose one verse. Read it slowly twice. Let it be louder than your fear.
- 3Turn it into prayer. Replace “you” with “me” and speak it to God.
- 4Take one small step. Text a friend, drink water, take a walk, or do the next right thing.
- 5Connect. If you want, share a prayer request or testimony—this is a community.
