Praying helps you to feel calmer and more at peace with your surroundings especially when you feel scared. And while they may seem simple, they're also quite powerful!

Prayer for When You're Feeling Scared

  • Dear God, please protect me from all harm. I pray for courage and strength to face my fears. Please help me to trust You and know that You are with me always. Amen.*
  • Lord, you are my peace; without you I would be lost in the chaos of life. Help me to rest in Your love today, knowing that whatever happens will work itself out according to Your will and timing. Thank you for always being there with me through it all!
  • Lord, every day holds situations with the potential to push me and my loved ones to fear. While I can't always avoid feeling afraid, I can look to You when I am fearful and help others trust in You. Help me find the courage I need to not be afraid of the invisible and visible things. In Jesus' Name, Amen. - From Proverbs 31

Prayer for Protection from Evil

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness give me joy. O Divine Master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it comes upon us unnoticed and suddenly when we give a helping hand or an encouraging word or show interest in another's happiness."

Praying Will Make You Feel Better

These prayers are good ones to memorize or keep in your heart.

Prayers are a good way to express your feelings and connect with God. They can help you find peace of mind, and they're especially good for times when you're feeling scared or alone.
