II TIMOTHY 1:7

II TIMOTHY 1:7

I struggle with worry, fear, and anxiety. It is very difficult for me to let go of my problems and allow God to fight the battles that rage in my mind.

I feel terrible because I don’t allow God to be in control--I don't seem to have the ability to turn my concerns over to Him. I want to release all my struggles to Him but I don't seem to have the ability to let them go.

I know that getting into the Word will have a calming effect on me.

I know that God's truth is my key to freedom but staying focused on the Bible in my hands is difficult when it is competing with the whirlwind of concerns swirling around in my head.

Please, pray for me that I can overcome this battle and experience joy, peace, and strength as I obey the Lord's admonition to "fear not."

"GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND." II TIMOTHY 1:7

If you struggle with fear, anxiety, depression or any negative thoughts, remind yourself of this verse. JESUS came to give you not only victory over sin but also over all the affliction and all the turmoil the enemy of your soul endeavors to place upon you.

Don't allow the evil one to control your thoughts or to rob you of your prayer power. Draw near to the Holy One and He will draw near to you. In His presence is fullness of joy.
