A Short Prayer for Panic Moments

Lord, be near me right now.

My heart is racing, but You are calm. My thoughts are loud, but Your voice is steady.

I breathe in: You are with me. I breathe out: I am safe in You.

This wave will pass. You will still be here when it does. Hold me until then.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this in the moment — line by line, matched to slow breaths — as many times as you need. Panic that comes often deserves real care too; a doctor or counselor can help with the waves this prayer helps you ride out.
