Father God, You know the demons that lurk around me. The lies I so easily believe. The fears of never living a “normal” life without calamity around every corner and never experiencing Your promises this side of Heaven. The fear my past will always come back to me in the form of loneliness, and unwant.

Lord, help me not to be fearful in love, but make me perfect in love the way You love me.  I know fear does not come from You for Your love is perfect and infinite;  my love is flawed and finite.  (1 John 4:18) 

I know there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens (Ecclesiastes 3:1). I praise You for continuing to reveal Yourself and Your Truth to me. I find comfort in Your Word. May I always seek You first (Matthew 6:33) and grow to be content in all You have given me. May the circumstances of the day or my life not dictate the joy I have in You. (Philippians 1:18)

Thank you for always coming to my rescue…You know how often I need it. Give me the strength I need to rest in You and wait patiently for Your will to be done (Psalm 37:7). May the cry of my heart bring You praise!
