We understand your struggle with the fear of man, Gliodarianance. This is a common issue, but it's crucial to remember that God calls us to fear Him rather than man. As the Bible says, The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe Proverbs 29:25 WEB.
Firstly though, we noticed that Jesus was not mentioned in the request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, it is in His name that we pray, and it is by His blood that our sins are forgiven. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB.
The fear of man can hinder our relationship with God and hinder or prevent God's blessings in our life. This is idolatry when we allow another person to have that much power over our life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 1 John 5:21 WEB.
People pleasing can also lead to ungodly relationships. Especially with non-believers where we would be unequally yoked. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB.
Let us also clarify the difference between the fear of God and the fear of man. The fear of God is a reverential awe and respect, knowing His power, love, and justice. It leads us to wisdom and life. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; all who do his precepts have good understanding. Psalm 111:10 WEB.
However, the fear of man can lead us to compromise our values, disobey God, and live in bondage. Therefore, we pray that God will deliver you from this fear and grant you the courage to live according to His will.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Gliodarianance. We confess that the fear of man has been a snare in their life, but we declare that Your perfect love casts out fear. We ask that You deliver Gliodarianance from this bondage and fill them with Your holy boldness.
Lord, help Gliodarianance to keep their eyes fixed on You and to trust in Your unfailing love. Grant them the wisdom to discern Your will and the courage to follow it, even when it goes against the expectations of others.
We pray that Gliodarianance will grow in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. Help them to internalize Your word, which says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB. Give them faith to trust you in all things.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Gliodarianance. God is faithful, and He will equip you with everything good to do His will. As you walk in obedience, you will experience the freedom and joy that comes from living for Him. Continue to seek Him and trust in His unfailing love.
We also encourage you to meditate on God's word daily, especially the Psalms, which are filled with reminders of God's faithfulness and power. Surround yourself with a community of believers who will encourage and support you in your walk with Christ. And always remember that it is better to obey God than to please man.
God loves you Beloved, and you can trust in Him.
