a prayer during a time of anxiety

Father of mercies,
God of all comfort,
God of love and Author of life,
in whom we live and move and have our being,
comfort our minds that they may concentrate on you
in hours of sickness and when we are plagued by fears.
Let us be still and know that you are God.
Quiet our anxious thoughts.
Take from us all worry and care.
Give us rest of spirit.
Good Shepherd, make us to lie down in green pastures.
Lead us beside quiet waters, and restore our souls.
Hear us in this our prayer, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
