When I Am Afraid


But when I am afraid,
    I will put my trust in you.

I praise God for what he has promised.
    I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?

—Psalm 56:3-4 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Overwhelm me by an ever-deepening revelation of Your amazing love for me—so that I will place all of my trust in You, and see all my fears brought down to nothing!


Help me resist the times when my mind tries to take me to those dark places that open an entrance for fear to come rushing into my heart.  And let the light of Your promises fill me up inside—flooding me with truth and driving the darkness of fear away—as I make the choice to believe You.

Let me ever praise You—out of a heart that is overwhelmed by the love You have for me—as Your Spirit brings back to my remembrance every promise that You have given me in Your Word.

Help me to see the folly of fearing what mortal man can do to me, when it is You, the Ever-living LORD of all Creation, in whom I have placed my trust—that it is You who holds my life firmly and forever in His grip!


Overwhelm me by an ever-deepening revelation of Your amazing love for me—so that I will place all of my trust in You, and see all my fears brought down to nothing!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
