We hear your heart crying out for healing and peace today and we join with you in bringing this dentist appointment and your anxiety before the Lord together.
We know how real fear and anxiety can feel, even over things like a dentist visit, but we are reminded that God cares about every detail of our lives and He invites us to bring it all to Him. The scripture tells us 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 also cling to the promise For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 and 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
We love your thankfulness to the Lord even in the midst of fear, for thanksgiving opens our hearts to His peace. We also want to gently encourage you that you mentioned Lord but did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is by His name we are saved and our prayers are heard. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 So we come boldly before God in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
We also see you are asking for help with medication for anxiety from your doctor. We believe God is our ultimate healer and source of peace, and He also in His mercy gives wisdom to doctors and can use medicine to help. We pray for wisdom for your doctor and for God to guide that process, while we continue to cast all our worries on Him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. We ask for Your healing touch upon body and mind and for Your perfect peace to guard their heart today. Lord, calm the fear and anxiety as they go to the dentist, let Your presence go with them and let them feel Your hand upholding them. We pray that You would quiet their thoughts and replace fear with Your power and love and self-control. We ask that You would deliver them from all fear as Your word says I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 We also ask for Your guidance over their doctor and for wisdom regarding medication for anxiety, that any treatment would be according to Your will and bring help and not harm. Above all, let Your peace which surpasses all understanding rest upon them today and in the days to come. We thank You Lord for Your love and mercy and we trust You to answer according to Your perfect will. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking Him in prayer throughout the day, breathing deeply and speaking scripture over your fear when it rises, remembering that He is with you in that dentist chair and in every moment after. Keep thanking Him as you already are doing, for that is a powerful weapon against anxiety.
