Spirit of Power

A prayer for fear & anxiety, from 2 Timothy 1:7

Timidity can start to feel like your personality after enough anxious years. This verse disagrees: the Spirit God gave you is not a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. A prayer for walking out of the smallness fear assigned you.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

The prayer

Father, the Spirit You have given me is not a spirit of fear. Your Spirit gives me power, love, and self-discipline. Help me walk in this truth when anxiety tries to make me timid. Strengthen me with Your power today.

Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.

If this is where you are, these may help too
