In today’s prayer, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women, vulnerably shares her journey with health anxiety — how it began, how it manifested physically and emotionally, and ultimately how God brought healing through prayer, community, and truth. Jaime encourages those walking a similar path to resist isolation and shame and instead embrace the freedom of bringing anxious thoughts to the Lord. This prayer is a lifeline for anyone battling worry over their health or the health of loved ones.
Jaime reminds us: when we imagine a future filled with fear, we’re often picturing it without God. But Scripture teaches that He is always there, even in our worst-case scenarios.
Today's Bible Verse:
“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
– 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)
Key Takeaways to Meditate On:
-
Anxiety thrives in isolation; truth and healing begin with confession and community.
-
Praise and thanksgiving can shift our focus and combat spiraling thoughts.
-
Scripture like 2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us we can take thoughts captive and surrender them to Christ.
-
Even if the diagnosis is real, God is still present and working in every situation.
Let’s Pray Together:
“We demolish the picture our worry and fears create: a future that doesn’t even exist. A future devoid of Your presence. Thank You for being a redeemer, for the hope that even if our worst-case scenario were to come true, You would be there in it…”
