Prayer for Overthinking

---

Overthinking wears down the soul — but peace comes when we surrender every thought to the One who sees the full picture.

Heavenly Father,
My mind is constantly spinning — replaying the past, worrying about the future, analyzing every detail, and trying to figure everything out. I feel mentally exhausted and emotionally drained. But right now, I pause to give it all to You.

You never asked me to carry the weight of understanding everything. You only ask me to trust You. So I bring my racing thoughts into Your presence and ask You to bring stillness and clarity.

Lord, help me to stop leaning on my own understanding. Teach me to rest in the truth that You are in control — even when I don’t have all the answers. I renounce the habit of overthinking and the illusion that I can fix or foresee everything on my own.

Let Your peace rule in my heart. Help me to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. Train my mind to meditate on truth, not fear. Give me wisdom for what I need to know — and grace to leave the rest in Your hands.

Thank You for being my peace, my Counselor, and my Anchor.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
