Example

I’m anxious and I can’t settle.

Philippians 4:6–7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Berean Standard Bible

For You

Whatever is making you anxious today — bring it to God in prayer. His peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart.

A Prayer

Lord, I bring my anxious thoughts to You right now, trusting that You will replace them with Your perfect peace. Amen.

Context

Paul wrote this from prison, teaching that peace comes not from circumstances but from entrusting everything to God.
