FEARS

PSALM 34:4 (ABP)
I looked to GOD for help and he responded, neutralizing my fear and anxiety.

LUKE 1:13 (CEV)
But the angel told him:
     Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayers.
     Your wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you must name him John.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Look to God and give him the fears that haunt you.

PRAYER
God, you listen for us to call out to you -- and you respond. Forgive me for harboring unnecessary fear and anxiety because I don't turn to you with my problems. I'm good at talking about how you erase fear but I don't live fear-free. So, I call to you and ask that you'd save me from the fears that haunt me. I'm looking to you. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
