Prayer based on 1 John 4, 6
God does not wish us to retain our fear within ourselves so that fear could paralyze us. There are always enough circumstances and opportunities to feel fear; we are all familiar with this.
Jesus in Gethsemane is our good example in the spiritual battle to overcome these feelings (Mt 26, 36-46). He sincerely confessed to the Father that he fears, and we are invited to do so as well.
We often think that courage is the opposite of fear. But in reality, love is the opposite of fear.
We shall stop at this passage and allow God to illuminate all those inner areas of life where we are faced with fears and anxieties. What really frightens us, keeps us in a crunch, and prevents us from living in freedom?
Let us give away all these circumstances to the Lord and allow His power to start acting inside us.
Lord, my life is in Your hands. You know all my anxieties and fears, but You know the way out to overcome my stiffness.
Give me the love to overcome every temptation of fear and helplessness. Let me always win in the fight against fear. Preserve me close to Your heart so I can draw Your love and trust from it.
Always remind me of Your struggle in Gethsemane and how much You trembled for Your life. Then You defeated every obstacle, first in PRAYER and then in real Calvary, giving us Your perfect love.
Thank You for this enormous gift!
