When Fear Won’t Let Go
1 John 4:18 (NIV)
Wednesday, June 18, 2025
For men battling fear—this verse and prayer remind you that God’s love is stronger than anything that tries to hold you back.
Heavenly Father,
You see the fears that I hide, the ones I don’t even have words for. Fear of failure. Fear of not being enough. Fear that I’ll never be truly loved or truly free. But Your Word says that perfect love drives out fear, and I want to live in that kind of love.
I don’t want fear to be the driver anymore. I want peace. I want freedom. I want to know deep down that I’m fully loved, even when I mess up. Teach me how to stop earning and start resting in what You’ve already given me. Fill the places in me where fear used to live with Your perfect love.
Let that love be the foundation I stand on, not fear, not pressure, not shame. Thank You for loving me even when I couldn’t love myself.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
