Prayer during a Time of Fear - say this prayer when you are afraid or anxious

#spiritualjourney

Dear Heavenly Father,
You tell us so many times in Your word to “Fear Not”
and so often I find myself allowing my imagination to run wild,
causing worry and anxiety to rise up in my heart,
for fear of what is happening in my life and in the world today.

Lord, I’m so anxious.
I’m afraid of failure.
I’m afraid of success.
Fear of criticism overwhelms me.
I’m afraid of being alone.

Lord I know that You do not want us to allow fear to overtake us,
but rather that we rest in Your love
and allow Your peace to fill and flood our troubled hearts
Bring my thoughts back to You, oh Mighty God.
Be the centre of my life, my Rock, my Fortress and my Salvation.
Help me not to stray as the sheep of this world
but to focus my eyes and heart upon You.

Cleanse my heart and my mind of any doubts of Your mighty power to set me free, to deliver me from evil.
Be with me as I face these fears,
guide me that I may go out in confidence, knowing that You are at my side.

Thank You that You are my refuge and strength,
my rock and high tower.
Thank You that You have promised to give us Your perfect peace in our hearts, when we focus our minds on You.
Help me I pray to learn to look beyond the difficulties in life to You
and help me to claim the many precious promises, that are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus.

Thank You that You have promised never to leave us nor forsake us,
and thank You that You are an ever present help in time of trouble.
Lord, I pray that You would embolden my heart when my spirit is flagging,
knowing that You have promised that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Lord, I declare and decree that anxiety and fear will not get the better of me.
I will find clarity of thought and true valor in You.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen!!

Amen.



Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
