How do we surrender our anxiety to God? Through prayer and communion with him. Moments of prayer give us the opportunity to be intimate with God to talk to him about what is troubling us. We can tell God what is causing us anxiety and ask for his help. When we lay everything before him in prayer and trust in his promises the Lord frees us from that burden.
