Prayer When Fearful And Discouraged

Seeking Refuge in Your Strength

Heavenly Father, in the stillness of this moment, my heart bows in humility, recognizing my frailty in the face of life’s storms. When waves of fear and mountains of discouragement loom before me, I am reminded that my strength is not in my own flesh, but in Your mighty power.

The world around me often seems filled with turmoil, and my heart quakes with the tremors of troubles I cannot control. It is in these times, O Lord, that I need to draw upon the well of Your endless strength.

I ask You, God, to be my refuge, my fortress against the barrage of my fears and the onslaught of discouragement. I trust in Your word, which says You are near to the brokenhearted.

Help me to remember that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Grant me the courage to face my fears and the resilience to overcome discouragement, not by my might, but by the power of Your Spirit within me.

Psalms 8:1 Oh LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Clinging to Faith Amidst Fear

Almighty God, in the moments when I am overwhelmed by fear, when doubt clouds my vision and my heart is heavy with despair, remind me to cling to the faith I profess.

The same faith that has moved mountains and calmed seas in days past is the faith that I hold on to. I acknowledge that these trials may be shaping and molding me into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Teach me to walk by faith and not by sight, trusting that what I now fear is a shadow that will flee in the light of Your truth. May I be like the tree planted by the waters, which does not fear when heat comes, whose leaves remain green, and does not worry in a year of drought.

Strengthen my faith, Lord, that I might stand firm when the winds of fear blow and when discouragement seeks to take root in my heart.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Feeling Fearful And Discouraged

Heavenly Father, I draw closer to You in prayer today as I feel fearful and discouraged. Negative feelings appear to have a very persistent grasp on me.

Help me Lord to lift my spirit. You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. I know by the finished work of Jesus, my mind should be re-energized and rejuvenated. However, the negativity continues to throw me down.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Declaring Release From Negativity

Right now as I continue in communion with You, I declare that all negative feelings and emotions will run from me. It will leave me free from bondage and the emptiness in the pit of my stomach will depart.

As I continue to develop a closer relationship with You, I thank You, Abba Father for the release of all fear. Thank you for providing the inner peace that I require and for Your guidance and protection over my life. I claim it! I call it done!

Jesus, Your triumph over the kingdom of darkness is my victory. Therefore, I will not be shaken. And, I will not be moved.

Lord, I stand firm in Your presence! I surrender my all to you in the majestic name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, SO BE IT…AMEN!

Isaiah 35:4 Tell everyone who is discouraged, Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue…

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
