PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM PERSONAL FEAR
Heavenly Father, this world You created continues down a dark and lonely road, and the anxiety that constricts my mind continues to grow with it. My focus has drifted away from You to constant worrying and self-doubt. I’m afraid of being a failure. I’m afraid of success, and the responsibilities of that. I’m afraid of criticism from others, and of myself. I’m afraid of being alone, and it haunts me. I’m even afraid of becoming a victim of crime, which can also make life debilitating for me. Bring my thoughts back to You, oh Mighty God! Please be the center of my life, my Rock, my Fortress and my Salvation forevermore. Help me not to stray as the sheep of this world, but to focus my eyes and heart upon You.
PRAYER FOR WITHDRAWING FROM FEAR, DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD
Fear has pushed me when you wanted me to be led by your loving hand.
Fear has tormented me when you wanted me to enjoy your soothing peace.
Fear has stolen from me when you wanted me to possess that I am blessed with many things.
PRAYER FOR OVERCOMING ANXIETY AND FEAR IN LIFE
When I feel crushed by my own worries and anxiety, lift my mind and help me to see the truth in all that You are.
When fear grips me tight and I feel I cannot move, please free my heart and help me to take things one-step at a time with you by my side.
When I can’t express the turmoil inside my heart and mind, calm me with Your quiet words of love and devotion.
I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I can cast these cares on You, and that you have taken these anxious thoughts, and by giving your life on the cross, You have set me free.
I choose to trust in You, each day, each hour, each moment of my life.
I know deep down that I live in Your grace, forgiven, and restored by Your sacrifice.
