IN THE LORD WE CAN BE FREE OF ANY FEAR
Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:3-4
Praying and worshiping God are the best ways to defeat worry and fear. When we praise God, we remind ourselves that He is almighty, merciful and loving. True worship that comes from a sincere, humble heart, touches God’s heart and brings deliverance, healing, strength and victory. No matter how low we may feel, how bad we may hurt or how hopeless our situation may look at some point, if we do not lose faith and we choose to continue to praise God, give Him our sorrows, concerns, fears and cares, leave them at Jesus’ feet, we grow in the spirit.
If we ask the Lord to give us His solution to our problem He will do it. He might speak to us as we read the Bible, through advice from someone else or a thought that once we realize it is the solution we were asking for, brings us deep peace. If the matter is very important we may need to continue to pray or even fast to make sure that the advice comes from God and then follow through on it.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Glory and honor to Your Holy Name, Lord God. You did all it takes for me to live in victory and not in defeat, to be courageous and not fearful, to be strong and not weak, being able to fulfill Your plan for my life. Thank You Jesus for the peace I have in You and for delivering me from all my fears. Only in the strength that I have in You, I can do all things. I am safe because You are in my heart. I am more than victorious in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
