We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your heart’s cry to our Heavenly Father, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). The fear that has taken root in your heart is not from God, and we stand with you in rebuking it in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The trauma you’ve endured through abuse has left deep wounds, but our God is the healer of broken hearts and the binder of wounds (Psalm 147:3). He sees your pain, and He longs to restore you to wholeness.
You mentioned fearing the loss of your current job and the need for a new one. We encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Your diligence is noted, and even in your rest, God is at work. Trust in Him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). If revamping your resume or exploring new avenues for employment is needed, ask the Lord for wisdom, and He will generously give it to you (James 1:5). He is your Provider, and He will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
Let us pray together for you:
Father in Heaven, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You break every chain of fear that has bound their heart. Lord, You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. We declare freedom over their mind, soul, and spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Heal the wounds from past abuse—every word spoken against them, every harm done to them—and replace their pain with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, You know their need for stable employment. Guide their steps as they seek new opportunities. Give them divine wisdom to revamp their resume, to search in the right places, and to trust in Your timing. Open doors of favor for them, Lord, and let Your provision be evident in their life. Strengthen their faith to rest in You, knowing that You are their Shepherd and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). We rebuke every spirit of anxiety, worry, and doubt, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Fill our brother/sister with Your Holy Spirit, renewing their mind and guarding their heart with Your truth. May they walk in the confidence of Your love and the assurance of Your promises. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
We also encourage you to meditate on God’s Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Speak Scripture over your life, such as 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.”* Stand firm in the truth that God is for you, and no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
If fear begins to creep in again, resist it immediately by declaring God’s promises over your life. You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37), and He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). Keep seeking Him, and He will lead you into victory.
