Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you today weighed down by fears and anxieties. They torment my mind and hold my heart captive. It’s overwhelming, and I feel as if I’m drowning in a sea of worry and fear. But I am reminded that You are bigger than any obstacle I face.
I surrender all my fears and anxieties to You, knowing that You are my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Cast out all the anxious thoughts and fill me with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen my heart and renew my mind, and let my spirit be grounded in Your love.
Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” I hold onto this promise, knowing You want to free me from the burdens of fear and anxiety.
I trust in Your unfailing love and your power to deliver and heal, and I look forward to the victory that lies ahead. Amen.
