🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Whether you are facing this yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply reading to understand — here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own, in your name or in theirs:
Father, thank You for catnip and its gentle, calming traditional use in easing nerve pain and unrest. Be my refuge and strength, a very present help in this trouble, for my body and nerves feel shaken. Grant wisdom in this care, and steady, gentle hands. If it be Thy will, bring calm and relief; if not, let Thy grace quiet my heart and body. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”— Psalm 46:1
