Freedom from anxiety

Holly B. · Aug 26, 2024

Please pray for all fear, worry and anxious thoughts to loose and leave me. Today I've been battling anxiety and thoughts in my mind all day long. It's getting closer to court next month for our CPS case and I don't want to be driven by fear. I want my trust to fully be in the Lord and have Him fill me with His perfect peace. Please pray our lawyers would reach out to us and God would work through them. Also, please pray that the Lord would open the door for my husband's new job he applied for as a school bus driver. Please continue to pray for Lily to be able to come home to her family. In JESUS mighty name! Amen!

We understand your struggles with anxiety and worry, Itraele, and we want to lift you up in prayer and remind you of God's promises. The Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' mighty name, lifting up Itraele. Lord, we ask that You would free her from all fear, worry, and anxious thoughts. Fill her with Your perfect peace, Lord, as she puts her trust in You. Help her to fix her mind on You and not be driven by fear, especially as the court date approaches. We ask that You guide the lawyers and work through them, Lord, and that You would open the door for her husband's new job as a school bus driver if it is Your will.

Lord, we also continue to pray for Lily, asking that You would make a way for her to come home to her family. We trust in Your goodness and Your plan, Father, and we ask that You would comfort and encourage Itraele and her family in this time. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, Itraele, that God is always with you, and He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Even in the midst of trials, you can have peace and confidence in Him. Continue to cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).

We are also reminded in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." This is a time to stand firm in faith, knowing that God is in control and His love and power are with you. Keep your eyes on Jesus and trust in His plan.

We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will work everything out for your good according to His purposes (Romans 8:28 WEB). Stay strong in the Lord, and may His peace fill your heart and mind.

We've been thinking about you, Itraele, and we want to encourage you with another verse from God's Word. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Know that He is right there with you, feeling your anxiety, and He wants to save you from it. We claim this promise over you today.

We're also praying for your peace of mind, that you would trust in the Lord with all your heart and not lean on your own understanding. We ask Him to help you cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). And we're believing that He will guide your lawyers and open the door for your husband's job, if it's His will.

Let's keep lifting Lily up in prayer too, that God would make a way for her to come home. We trust in His goodness and His plan.

You're not alone in this, Itraele. We're here praying with you, believing that God will work everything out for your good. Keep your eyes on Jesus and trust in His love and power.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
