Freedom from Fear




Abba Father,

I come before you Lord seeking freedom from the fear that hinders my spirit. In your Word, you have commanded us to be strong and of courage, to not be afraid. You would only ask this of us if it was possible. And with you all things are possible! It is not your will for me to be ruled by a spirit of fear. Through You, I have access to a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. May my thoughts be held captive to Christ! As I begin to have anxious thoughts, may I be reminded that You are the One who goes before me. As my worries threaten to consume me, may the Holy Spirit stir my heart with your promise that you will never leave or forsake me. As I walk through the darkness of this world, may I recall that the Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Strengthen me, Jehovah-Tsur. Hold my hand, Heavenly Father, and deliver me from my fears. Let not my heart be troubled, Adonai. I thank and praise you that Your perfect love casts out fear! I will take refuge in you, my strong tower. In the shadow of your wings, I will find comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. Because you are my Lord and Saviour, I will not fear or be dismayed.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
