A Prayer to Overcome Fear with Faith | Your Daily Prayer

Fear is something every one of us faces — it’s part of being human. But for the believer, fear doesn’t have to control us. In this heartfelt daily prayer and devotional, Keneesha Saunders-Liddie reminds us that faith isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the courage to move forward in spite of it.

When Keneesha found herself stranded at just 13 years old, she experienced firsthand what it meant to trust God in a moment of real danger. That night, she learned that faith doesn’t always remove fear, but it gives us the strength to act even when we’re trembling.

As followers of Christ, we are called to “do it scared” — to take the next step, obey His call, and trust that the Lord who is for us will lead us safely to where we need to be. The truth of Psalm 118:6 reminds us that no person, opinion, or circumstance can stand against God’s plan for our lives. He is with us, and He is for us — and that changes everything.

Today's Bible Reading:
“The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” – Psalm 118:6, NLT

💡 Takeaway Truths

Fear may always be present, but faith gives us strength to move forward.

God is for us — no one and nothing can stand against His plans.

True courage comes from trusting in God’s presence and promises.

🙏 Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being my strength and my Savior. I know fear will always be near, but help me to place my faith in You above all else. Teach me to “do it scared,” trusting that You are with me every step of the way.
Increase my faith, Lord — even when I don’t understand what You’re doing. Help me to remember that You are for me and will never leave me. When my heart trembles, remind me of Your steadfast love and unshakable promises.
May I serve You boldly, walk in obedience, and trust Your plan completely — even when I cannot see the outcome. You are my peace and my courage.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
