It's Monday May 4, 2026 "Dear God, I refuse to let anxiety and fear be the first things that greet me when I open my eyes this morning. I acknowledge that the feelings are real but I declare that they are not my truth and they are not my master. I cast down every anxious thought, every worst-case scenario, and every fearful imagination that tries to take root in my mind. You have not given me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind, and I claim that promise with everything in me today. Help me to breathe deeply, to think clearly, and to trust fully even in the moments when fear tries to creep back in. I lay every worry at Your feet, my worries about the future, about people, about finances, about my health, and about everything I cannot control. Remind me that You are in control and that Your plan for my life is good even when I cannot see it. In Jesus' name, Amen."
