Instead of being anxious about things, I'm supposed to bring them to God with gratitude. That's not pretending anxiety is gone - it's transforming the anxiety into intercession.
I've been lying awake at night with racing thoughts. I started praying them instead - turning the worry about my kids into prayers for their safety, turning the fear of failure into asking for wisdom.
The transformation isn't instant, but gradually my nighttime anxiety is becoming prayer. The energy is the same but it's directed differently.
