When you feel anxious

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

Lord, I bring you every anxious thought. Trade my worry for your peace.

When you feel weary

Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:28-29

Jesus, I'm tired. I come to you for rest.

When you feel lonely

The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.

Deuteronomy 31:8

Lord, you go before me and you will not leave me.

When you feel afraid

But now the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.”

Isaiah 43:1

Lord, you call me by name. I belong to you.

When you are grieving

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3

Lord, bind up what is broken in me.

When you feel grateful

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Psalm 107:1

Lord, thank you. Your love lasts forever.

Verses from the World English Bible. In Linen you can read them in any of the four translations.

When you have a question

Ask about the Bible, and read the answer for yourself.

Press and hold any verse to ask about it, or ask your own question. An AI Bible study guide answers from Scripture and cites the verses, so you can tap them and read them yourself. Choose the guide who suits you:

  • Portrait of Lydia, an illustrated AI guideLydiaWarm and steady, like an old friend.
  • Portrait of Priscilla, an illustrated AI guidePriscillaClear and encouraging, with a teacher's patience.
  • Portrait of Phoebe, an illustrated AI guidePhoebeGentle and attentive. Listens before speaking.
  • Portrait of Timothy, an illustrated AI guideTimothyEarnest and curious. Loves a good question.
  • Portrait of Barnabas, an illustrated AI guideBarnabasUnhurried and encouraging. Glad you came.

Your guide is an AI, not a pastor or priest, and can be wrong. Free accounts can ask 3 questions a day.

Chat with Lydia, an AI guide: the question How can I pray when I feel anxious? and an answer that links to Philippians 4:6-7 and ends with a short prayer.

Evening

Pray with the people you know.

Write down what you're praying for and come back to it. When a prayer is answered, mark it and keep it, so you can remember.

Psalm 23 · The LORD is my shepherd

Read by Mia, an AI voice, from the World English Bible.

1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever.

Questions

Someone sent me a prayer link. Do I need Linen?

No. The link opens in your browser, and you can tap "I prayed" there without an account. If you have Linen, the link opens in the app. Install it if you'd like to share your own prayers, or pray with that person again later.

Who can see a prayer I share?

Only the people you send the link to, or the prayer partners you choose. Only you see who prayed and what they wrote. A shared prayer is taken down from Linen's server 30 days after you share it, or 7 days after you mark it answered, and you can stop sharing any time. Linen checks shared words before they're saved, and anyone can report or block. See the community guidelines and the privacy policy.

Is the Bible really free?

Yes. Every book and chapter, in all four translations, with no daily limit and no card required.

Is the study guide a pastor?

No. Lydia and the other four guides are an AI, and each one says so. The guide answers from the Bible, cites its verses, explains the main views where Christians disagree, and suggests talking with a pastor, priest or someone you trust when that would help. It doesn't give medical, legal or financial advice.
