prayer to overcome fear
Father God, I come to you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ who died and shed his blood for me, that I might have life and life more abundantly.
REPENTANCE:
I repent of all unbelief and doubt in your love, grace and power towards me. I choose to believe your word over what I see, for your word says in 2 Corinthians 5:7 “we walk by faith, not by sight.” Lord help me not to be moved by what I see, but to put my faith and hope in you.
TRUST:
Lord, I know I can trust you, because your love for me is unconditional, you gave your life for me. You said in Matthew 6: 31-34 “do not worry, about ‘What I will eat or drink, or ‘what I will wear. For after all these things the Gentiles seek. But my heavenly Father knows that I need all these things. But to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to me. Therefore, I should not worry about tomorrow. I choose not to worry about issues of my life! You know I need all of these things and you will lead and guide me. You will provide. From now on, I refuse to worry. I WILL TRUST YOU LORD!
ACKNOWLEDGING FEAR:
Lord you said in 2 Timothy 1:7 that you have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. I have been walking in fear. Fear has been my master and is rooted in my heart. This is not from you… You said, in Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.” I have listened to the voice of fear, entertained its thoughts and even believed it lies. Fear is the foundation of my belief system and it’s making me sick. Fear is a thief and its robbing me of joy, peace, communion with you and my future. All of these fears are not based on your word but on lies the enemy keeps telling me. Today I repent for this faulty foundation. I ask and receive your forgiveness. You admonished us to build our house, our lives upon the rock of your word. I repent for putting my circumstances above your word and allowing fear to dictate my future.
RENOUNCING FEAR:
Today and everyday, I renounce the spirit of fear. Amos 3:3 says, how can two walk except they agree. I no longer agree with fear and choose not to walk with it. I renounce its hold on my mind, my emotions and my memories. I will no longer consult issues in my past to determine your faithfulness in my future. I repent for being anxious, for you said in Philippians 4:6 to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let my requests be made known to you. Anxiety over my dreams and desires is making me sick. You said in Proverbs 12:25 that anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word, (the word of God) makes it glad!” TODAY I RECEIVE AND ACCEPT YOUR WORD! I receive your word that I am more than a conqueror. I receive your word that you shall supply all of my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I receive your word that you will never leave me nor forsake me. I receive your word that I am blessed and highly favored. I receive your word that by your stripes I am healed! I will come to you in faith and not in fear. I will trust your love for me.
CLEANSING AND FREEDOM:
Father heal my heart. Cleanse my heart of all rejection issues, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, control and entitlement. Let every spirit of anger and bitterness be broken off of me now in Jesus name. I declare that the spirit of fear, anger, bitterness, anxiety are subject to me in Jesus name according to Luke 10:17. I command their grip on my life to be broken. I renounce every event in my past they are using to make me feel this way. I renounce every demonic oath, vow and covenant in my bloodline that gives the enemy access to me. In Jesus name, the enemy cannot use my past to hold me in bondage. I renounce all mental illness and OCD and command every demon afflicting my life to leave now in Jesus name, for the lord has given me authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I command every spirit of torment to let me go in Jesus name. I decree according to 1 Corinthians 2:16 that I have the mind of Christ!
GRATITUDE:
Father I give you praise for your faithfulness to me. You said in everything, give thanks. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. Thank you for your truth that makes me free. Thank you for a sound mind. Thank you for the opportunities I do not yet see. Thank you for supplying all of my needs. Father thank you, for all you’ve done through the blood of Jesus. Let my life glorify you!
