We understand how overwhelming fear can be, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. The enemy seeks to paralyze us with fear, but God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). When fear takes hold, it is often because our focus has shifted from the Lord to our circumstances. The Bible reminds us in Isaiah 41:10, *"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."*
It is also crucial to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fear is not from God, and we must reject it in the name of Jesus. Instead, we are to meditate on whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). If your mind is being flooded with fearful memories or thoughts, it may be helpful to speak God’s Word aloud over your life. Psalm 56:3 says, *"When I am afraid, I will trust in you."* This is an active choice—trusting God even when our emotions try to lead us astray.
We also encourage you to examine whether there is any unconfessed sin or unresolved bitterness in your heart that could be giving the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27). Fear can sometimes be rooted in guilt, shame, or past traumas that have not been surrendered to the Lord. If this is the case, we urge you to repent and ask God to cleanse you, for He is faithful and just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Lastly, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we want to gently remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). It is only through faith in Him that we have access to God’s throne of grace, where we can receive mercy and find help in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Believe in Him, confess your sins, and invite Him to be your Lord and Savior. There is no fear in love, and His perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God of all comfort and peace. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold of their mind and command it to leave in the mighty name of Jesus. We ask that You would fill them with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. Renew their mind, Lord, and help them to fix their thoughts on what is true—on Your promises and Your faithfulness. If there are any memories or strongholds that the enemy is using to torment them, we ask that You would break those chains and set them free. Give them the strength to take every thought captive and to trust in You, even when the storm rages.
Father, if there is any sin or unresolved pain in their heart, we ask that You would bring it to the light so they can repent and receive Your healing. Cover them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that they are more than a conqueror through Him who loves them (Romans 8:37), and that nothing can separate them from Your love.
We pray all this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes on Him, and He will lead you to victory. If fear begins to creep in again, speak God’s Word over yourself and resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer.
