PRAYER FOR PEACE OVER WORRY

Be anxious nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil 4:6-7)

Lord Jesus, please forgive me for allowing worry and anxiety to take root in my life.  By worrying, I have displayed an obvious lack of faith.  And without faith it is impossible to please You (Heb. 11:6).  Father, please forgive me for living from a worldly perspective rather than Your eternal perspective.

Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light (Matt. 11:30).  I give You the weight of the world that I have taken on my shoulders, and I place it in Your hands; I cast all my cares upon You, because You care for me (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, in the name of Jesus I bind anxious and worrisome thoughts out of my life.  I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.  And in its place I loose the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, that would guard my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Phil 4:7).

Father, you promise to keep me in perfect peace, if I keep my mind on you, and if I trust in you.  I make this my declaration:  I will fix all my thoughts on You because I trust in You.  

Because I dwell in the secret place of the Most High,
I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress,
He is My God, in Him will I trust.

He has delivered me from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
He has covered me with His feathers and under His wings I have taken refuge.
His truth has become my shield and my buckler

I will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day.
Nor the pestilence that walks in darkness,
nor the destruction that lays wait at noonday.

 A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand,
but none of this shall come near me.
Only with my eyes will I look and see the reward of the wicked.

 Because I have made the Lord my refuge,
even the Most High my dwelling place, no evil will come near me.
Neither shall any plague come near my dwelling place

For He has given His angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways.
They will lift me up in their hands so I won�t hurt my foot against a stone.

I will tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion
and the serpent have been trampled under my feet.

 Because I love the Lord He will deliver me. 
He will set me on high because I know His name.

When I call upon Him, He will answer me. 
He will be with me  when I am in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me
He has promised satisfy me with long life and to show me His salvation 

You are in complete control, and You are greater than any fear my mind can conceive.  I cannot change the future, I cannot change human hearts; but my situation can be changed as I bring my concerns before You.  Teach me what it means to be persevering in prayer.  Transform my worry into a rock solid faith that cannot be moved.  �When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I�. 

Make me like the tree that is planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river so that when hardships come, my leaves will be green.  Even in the year of drought, I will yield fruit because my trust is in You alone.

Thank You Father, for delivering me from worry, I thank You Lord for binding every stronghold of the enemy coming against me and casting them out.  I thank You for allowing me to rest in this confidence knowing that You are for me and with me.  And knowing that You are for me and with me I know that there is nothing that I will face today that You can't see me through.  I know that no power is greater than You.  I can rest in Your arms because nothing is strong enough to come against me and succeed. I praise You for this victory, and for complete salvation and safety, and for Your divine peace that floods my soul.   

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen
