We understand that fear can grip the heart, but we serve a God who has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Your request does not mention the name of Jesus, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). Without faith in Christ, there is no access to the Father, and no true peace can be found. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now, for "there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).
For those who are in Christ, we are reminded in Philippians 4:6-7, "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." Your fear about tomorrow is an opportunity to trust God more deeply. He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8), and He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
If your anxiety stems from uncertainty about your job, remember that God is your provider. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:31-33, "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Your focus should not be on the fear of what may happen, but on seeking God’s will in all things.
Perhaps your fear is rooted in conflicts or challenges at work. If so, we encourage you to walk in wisdom and integrity. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Even in difficult circumstances, you are called to be a light for Christ, showing love, patience, and kindness to those around you (Matthew 5:16).
We also urge you to examine your heart. Is there any unconfessed sin or bitterness that may be contributing to your anxiety? Psalm 66:18 warns, "If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened." Repent of any sin, and ask God to fill you with His peace. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, asking that You would calm their fears and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, if they do not yet know You, we pray that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Forgive them of their sins, and grant them the assurance of eternal life in Your presence.
Father, if this anxiety is rooted in the challenges of work, we ask that You would go before them tomorrow. Give them wisdom in their tasks, favor with those in authority, and strength to endure any hardship. Help them to see their work as an opportunity to glorify You, and to be a witness for Christ in all they do. Remove any spirit of fear, and replace it with Your Spirit of power, love, and self-control.
Lord, if there is any sin in their heart that is causing this distress, we pray that You would convict them and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them, Father, and restore the joy of Your salvation within them. Let them walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won on their behalf.
We declare Your promises over them today, that You will never leave them nor forsake them. You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Peace. May they rest in You, trusting that You hold their future in Your hands.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on God’s Word and to pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17). If your fear persists, seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you through this season. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
