Do Not Fear

 

Yes, you came when I called;
    you told me, “Do not fear.”

Lord, you have come to my defense;
    you have redeemed my life.

—Lamentations 3:57-58 (NLT)

 

Faithful Lord, My Redeemer,

Thank You that, because of Your faithfulness to me, I don’t ever have to be afraid.

Thank You for being the God who hears me when I call out to You in prayer—the One who comes to me and speaks words of comfort to my soul, the One who speaks only truth and tells me, “Do not fear.”

Thank You for coming to defend me, by surrounding me with Your angelic armies—who fight against every attack of the enemy as he seeks to destroy me—and for ushering me safely through every battle by covering me in Your unfailing love.

Thank You for redeeming my life—for sending Christ to lay down his life and pay the price I could never pay—that I might find my life in Him, and live that life for Him alone!

Thank You that, because of Your faithfulness to me, I don’t ever have to be afraid.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
