Isaiah 41:10: “So
do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will
uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
2 Timothy 1:7: “For God did not
give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love, and of sound-mind.”
Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep in
perfect peace he whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
Lord,
I feel completely hard pressed, crushed, persecuted and struck down. Life is bearing down on me and it’s too much
for me to handle alone. I need You. Every moment.
I need You to keep me from going under all the way. I feel so broken, and I can’t fix it on my
own. Please, help me.
You
say that You will be my strength, that I don’t have to be afraid because You
are with me. Well, I need to feel Your
presence now. I need to sense that You
are with me. Before I crack
completely. Lord, this spirit of fear
that I am living under is not from You.
I know that. But my own mind has
become an enemy. Please, Lord, help
me. You give us a spirit of power, of
love, and of sound mind. And I need that
power and love and sound mind right now.
I
am making a trade with You, Lord; I am giving You the fear and anxiety and
unanswered questions, and I am asking You to give me Your peace and power and
love and sound mind. I cannot seem to
make my mind do what I want it to do.
But Your Word says that You
will keep in perfect peace the person whose mind is set on You. I can’t keep myself in peace; I need You to
do it for me. Help me to set my mind on
You. Help me to block out the enemy’s
whispers. Help me to hear only You, to
trust in You, and to feel that peace.
Lord,
I need You!
