I once allowed fear, worry and anxiety to control my life.  I once lived with a fear of rejection, a fear of failure, and a fear of worthlessness.  These fears ruled my life.  I allowed satan to whisper in my ear daily that I was not good enough, that I was not worthy enough, and that I was not loved.  Thank God, I made a choice and chose God’s word instead. His word tells me that I am good enough, I am accepted, and that He loves me.  “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son (John 3:16).”  His word is freedom and in it I can live my life free from fear, worry, and anxiety. 

I have found that Psalm 91 gives me hope.  It gives me hope that I have freedom from any type of fear; whether it be fear of dangers or fear of rejection.  It does not matter what type of fear it may be because this scripture tells me God is my protection.  I was first introduced to Psalm 91 by Gloria Copeland.  I listened closely as she preached on God’s protection.  She began to read these words, “Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me.”  As she read those words, my heart leaped with joy inside of me!  I had freedom; freedom from any type of fear the devil tries to throw my way.  I began to open my bible and read the words of Psalm 91.  It teaches me that I have no reason to fear because God is always with me.  No matter what is happening around me, God will be there protecting me; evil will not touch me. 

Psalm 91 is a powerful verse to be spoken over our lives.  If you are suffering from fear and anxiety, I challenge you to pray this prayer daily.  Print it out and leave it by your bed.  When you wake up in the mornings or when you go to bed at night, pray this prayer over your life.  It will make a difference.  God will change you and help relieve your fears. 

Prayer:   Thank you Jesus that I live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.  You are my refuge, my place of safety; You are my God, and I am trusting in You.  For you rescue me from every trap, and protect me from the fatal plague.  You will shield me with your wings!  They will shelter me.  Your faithful promises are my armor.  Now I don’t need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day, nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.  Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me.  I will see how the wicked are punished but I will not share it.  Thank you Jesus, Amen. (Psalm 91, The Living Bible)
