Prayer For A Reverential “Fear” Of The Lord

Prayer To Be Kept From Fear And Confusion

Oh Lord God, there are times that I become so fearful. There is so much sadness and hardship that seems to be flooding the world today. The news on the TV and internet seems to contradict what is actually happening in our lives, and at times I feel too afraid to even switch on the news. Lord, there is so much poverty and hardship, so much disease and distress that seems to be plaguing the lives of so many people. We hear of earthquakes and volcanoes, wars and killings, storms and floods, fires and famine, and debt spiralling out of control. At times it seems that the world has all gone mad.

But Lord, I know that my trust should be in You, every moment of the day, for You are ultimately in control and there is nothing that happens in the world today that You do not permit. I admit Lord, that I do not understand all that is happening, but I want to trust You, and pray that when fear starts to rise up in my throat, that You will quiet my heart and enable me to relax into You.

Help me Lord, to turn my mind from the distresses of the news and prevent fear from flooding my heart, I pray. Help me Lord, to keep the eyes of my heart focussed on the truth of Your Word, for I know that it is only in You that our souls will rest in safety and peace.

Thank You Lord,

Amen.

Prayer During A Time Of Fear

Dear Heavenly Father, You tell us so many times in Your Word to “Fear Not” and so often I find myself allowing my imagination to run wild, causing worry and anxiety to rise up in my heart, for fear of what is happening in the world today.

Lord, I know that You do not want us to allow fear to overtake us, but rather that we rest in Your love and allow Your peace to fill and flood our troubled hearts, and I know that Your Word tells us very plainly that You remain sovereign in our lives and also in the world situation too.

Thank You, that You are my refuge and strength, my rock and high tower. Thank You, that You have promised to give us Your perfect peace in our hearts, when we focus our minds on You. Help me I pray, to learn to look beyond the difficulties in life to You, and help me to claim the many precious promises that are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus.

Thank You, that You have promised never to leave us nor forsake us, and thank You that You are an ever present help in time of trouble. And Lord, I pray that You would embolden my heart when my spirit is flagging, knowing that You have promised that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness. Praise Your holy name.

Amen.

Prayer To Remove Fear About Death

Dear Heavenly Father, at times I become quite fearful about the prospect of death and dying and Lord, I pray that You would help me to overcome this fear and enable me to see death from a heavenly perspective.

I know Lord, that it says in Scripture that the death of Your saints is very precious to You and that it is better to be with You in heaven. I also thank You for Your promise that death has lost its sting and that the grave has lost its victory, through the glorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, for which I praise and thank You.

Father, I do thank You that You are my caring Shepherd and that even when I have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I do not need to fear, knowing You are with me every step of the way, to comfort and support.

Help me not to fear but rather, may I rest my soul in You and trust that in all things, even in death, You will fulfil Your promise to be with me always and to carry me through, to the end.In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
