How Do I Help Her Through?

The older she gets
the more anxious she becomes.
Her worries flow through
as she paces back and forth.
She is afraid to say anything
even to ones she feels safest with.
Why is her mind filling with concerns
as she tries to live her best young life?
She is so sweet and gentle,
so I ask God every day to guide her through.
I wrap my arms around her and hope
that she will know how much she is loved.
I make sure that I boost her confidence and
tell her what an amazing person she is becoming.
She is growing up in an anxious society, 
and I fear it will only get harder for her.
There is only one thing I can do, 
so I pray to God to show me the answers.
How do I help her through?
