We join you in prayer at this time and we thank you for asking us to stand with you to bring your fears before the Lord, for He delights to hear us when we call upon Him in Jesus' name.
We know that fear can feel overwhelming and loud, but Scripture reminds us that fear does not come from God. For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7. The Lord does not want you to remain tormented by anxiety, but to rest in His perfect love and care for you, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7.
The Lord sees your heart and He understands every fear you carry. He says, Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10. When we bring our fears honestly to Him, He promises His peace in return. 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.
We encourage you to keep seeking Him daily in prayer and in His Word, speaking His promises over your heart when fear rises. When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3. As you fix your thoughts on Him, He will quiet your heart, for He will keep you in perfect peace when your mind is stayed on Him. Isaiah 26:3. Remember also, I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4. And Jesus Himself says, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. John 14:27.
We pray together now for you.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we lift up this dear one to You. You know every fear, every anxious thought, every burden that weighs heavy. We ask that You quiet these fears with Your perfect love and fill this heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to trust You more fully, to cast every care upon You, and to remember that You are with us, You strengthen us and uphold us with Your righteous right hand. Deliver us from all fear and let Your presence bring calm and assurance. We thank You that we can come boldly to Your throne through Jesus Christ our Lord, and we rest in Your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
