Consolation Brings Joy

When anxiety has been sitting on you

A prayer from Psalm 94:19

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy: the psalmist doesn't say the anxiety was small or short. It was great, and the consolation met it at size. A prayer for comfort that actually reaches how bad it actually is.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:19 (NIV)

The prayer

Father, when grief was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy. You support me when my foot slips. You become my fortress.

Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.
