Philippians 4:6 — Powerful Prayer for Anxiety, Worry, and Overthinking in the Early Hours

3 A.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Seoul, from Chicago to Cape Town — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope.

📖 Scripture (NIV)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

Show Notes

At 3 a.m., the world feels quieter, yet the mind can feel louder. Worry multiplies. Thoughts repeat. Anxiety rises. But the Word of God cuts through the noise: “Do not be anxious about anything.” This is not denial — it is divine exchange. You do not carry the weight alone. You bring it to the One strong enough to hold it.

This early-hour prayer is for every believer who wakes up with racing thoughts, unfinished battles, or unseen fear. God’s peace is not delayed until morning. It can meet you now — in the stillness, in the dark, in the overwhelm.

From London to Seoul, from Chicago to Cape Town, believers are presenting their worries to God together. What steals your sleep cannot steal your destiny.

Declare with faith: “Anxiety is not my future. Peace is my portion.”

our minds are feeling, Lord,we're not going to be anxious.
Lord, we're going to try andwe're going to walk by faith.
Lord, when anxiety rises, webelieve that the word of God is

(01:33):

We believe that the word cutsthrough the noise of chaos.
And Lord, we ask you right nowthat you will help us not to be
anxious about anything.

today.
We believe in the Father, theSon, the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Word of God.

Christ Jesus.
And right now we pray thatanxiety will overtake.
Lord, anxiety will overtake.
It's going to overtake.
Lord, we believe anxiety isgoing to overtake, and we
believe that it's going to burnitself out.
So Lord, we thank you that He'sgoing to overtake and it is
going to burn itself out.
Lord, but it cannot overtake thelove of God.
And as it tries to overtake, asit tries to lift itself, Lord,

(03:44):
we recognize that it is tryingto overtake our mind.
But Lord, right away now,through this prayer time, it is
not going to get any traction inour lives.
Lord, we say, let it overtake,but Lord, we're going to get a
hold of it and we're going toplace it at the cross.
It can overtake, it can do whatit likes, but Lord God, it's not
going to control my life in thename of Jesus.
We pray for peace of mind whenwe can't rest.

(04:06):
We pray for calm in panic andfear.
We ask, dear God, for emotionalhealing from anxiety.
We trust in God's word inuncertain days.
We come to you, dear God, not inworry, not in fear, but we come
in faith.
Lord, we turn it, we switch itaround.
And we want to declare rightnow, when my mind is steady, my
soul is safe.

(04:26):
I give God the glory.
I give God my worry.
He gives me peace of mind in themighty name of Jesus Christ.
But we want to make a call toaction right now.
We want to tell the world thatthe battle of anxiety belongs to
God.
Wherever you are, may the Spiritof the living God be over you.
May the power of Jesus Christ bein your life.
And just remind yourself, giveyourself a call to action.

(04:49):
The battle belongs to the Lord.
