From A Prayer for When Anxiety Won't Let You Rest

Father, You see me right now, wide awake, holding more than I can carry. I'm not going to pretend I'm fine. My mind keeps running ahead to things that haven't even happened.

So I bring them to You, one at a time. This is the one that scares me most. Lord, I'm handing it over.

Thank You that You are not tired of me. Thank You that You were already in tomorrow before I started worrying about it. Thank You for every time You carried me before, even the times I didn't notice until later.
