Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the LORD means safety.—Proverbs 29:25 (NLT)
Loving and Caring LORD,
Save me from the dangerous trap of fearing people—whether it is a fear of what they think of me or a fear of what they might try to do to me—and help me find safety in trusting You.
Don’t allow me to let a
fear of people keep me from that which You have called me to do—but help me
keep my eyes focused on You, so that I will avoid the enslaving power that a
fear of man can hold over me.
Let me fear You only—with respect,
reverence, and wholehearted trust—knowing that You are well able to turn what
others intend for evil, into great good.
And let me fully
experience the liberating freedom of placing all things, big and small, into
Your hands for safe keeping—even my very life itself.
Save me from the dangerous trap of fearing people—whether it is a fear of what they think of me or a fear of what they might try to do to me—and help me find safety in trusting You.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
