For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for showing me that I don’t have to be afraid—for reminding me that You didn’t create me to be timid, or to act cowardly, or fearfully—but that the spirit You have given me is a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
You have given me a spirit
of power to resolutely face any trouble, opposition or obstacle with courage—since
You have delivered me from any cowardice or timidity, by the strength of the
Greater One who lives in me.
You have given me a spirit
of love, both for You—which gives me the
faith and the freedom to rise above any fear of man or circumstance—and for the souls of others—which gives
me the desire and the power to compassionately reach out to my neighbor with
truth and grace.
You have given me a spirit
of a calm, and well-balanced, and sound mind, so that with that quietness of
mind, I can remain peacefully disciplined—as I surrender control to Your Spirit
and entertain only thoughts that are true and life-giving.
Thank You for showing me that I don’t have to be afraid—for reminding me that You didn’t create me to be timid, or to act cowardly, or fearfully—but that the spirit You have given me is a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
