A Prayer for When You Are Filled with Fear

I praise you because You are good and have good plans for me. You have called me to certain purposes in my life, and I do not want fear to ever draw me away from you, hinder me from doing what you want me to do, or prevent me from sharing the hope I have in Jesus as my Savior. I cast out fear in Jesus’ name and pray for me to be covered in Your power, love, and a sound mind. I pray that You would encourage me and help me as I seek to no longer be filled with fear, but to have complete trust in You. Lord, you know my battles, you know what’s in my heart and on my mind, so I ask for Your help as I desire to turn away from fear and turn toward You.

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen!
