Apparently, people still don’t know this about using Psalms to calm anxiety…

Most professionals carry stress into their workday without realizing how much it affects their body. Scripture gives us more than comfort — it gives us tools to quiet the noise inside.

God’s Word Speaks to Anxiety

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” — Psalm 94:19

The writer isn’t pretending anxiety doesn’t exist. He admits it’s real — but reminds us that God’s presence has power to turn it into joy.

What Science Says

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that repeating meaningful phrases or prayers lowers activity in the brain’s stress center — the amygdala. People who practiced this saw anxiety symptoms decrease by up to 20%.

A Simple Practice for Today

Take 2 minutes on your next break.

  • Read Psalm 94:19 slowly three times.

  • Breathe in for four counts, out for six.

  • As you breathe, repeat the phrase: “Your consolation brings me joy.”

Why It Matters at Work

Deadlines, meetings, and constant alerts create a low hum of stress. Practicing this Psalm helps reset your nervous system, so you return to your tasks with clarity and calm. That’s not just good for your health — it makes you more present, wise, and effective in your work.

God’s consolation is steady and available right where you are. You don’t have to carry anxiety into the rest of your day.
