Prayer to overcome fear

 

“I take authority over the spirit of fear as well as inherited iniquity of fear in my family tree - you cannot rule my spirit and mind any longer.

I command you to go and to be cast out of my life and the generations in my family in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus! I also take authority over the spirit of death and spirit of infirmity. In the Name of Jesus I break your power and I command you to go!

In the Name of Jesus I release myself from the fear that torments me for it is written that fear has torment (1 John 4 v 18). In the Name of Jesus I release myself from performance, perfectionism and meeting the expectations of others. In the name of Jesus I release myself from fear of failure that drives me to do everything right and who would tell me that who I am is what I do. I determine in my heart this day to make an allowance for weakness and mistakes for it is written that His strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12 v 9) and “Though the righteous shall fall seven times, the Lord will lift them up!” (Proverbs 24 v 16). I release myself from the fear of man and what others think of me. I release myself from inferiority and I take authority over the evil spirit that accuses me, makes me feel inferior and says that I don’t measure up to somebody else – you are a lying spirit and I break your power and command you to be gone in the Name of Jesus! I release myself from the panic in the projection of things that could go wrong. I release myself from dread. I release myself from horror and the fear of evil now in my life in the Name of Jesus.

Father I release myself from the fear and pain of rejection. It doesn’t matter who has rejected me because You are my source and it’s about time I stopped making them an idol. If somebody doesn’t love me, that’s their loss. God You are my Father and Jesus is my husband and You are all I’ve got 100 years from now so I may as well get used to it now. Father I release myself from my dependency on humans who will possibly never love me. I release a peace inside me that I have never known because I am wanted, and I am loved! Father You saved me, You chose me before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1 v 4), You made me a son, You made me a daughter. I am the apple of Your eye (Zechariah 2 v 8), I am engraved in the palms of Your hand (Isaiah 49 v 16), You have betrothed me as a bride to Your Son and my name is written in the Lamb’s book of Life (Luke 10 v 20)…what more could I ask of you?

I release myself from the fears and insecurities that have come from broken relationships and rejection for it is written in Romans 8 v 15 that God has not given me into bondage to the spirit of fear but I have received the spirit of adoption whereby I can cry out Abba Father! I release myself from hardness of heart that I have that will not let me trust and be vulnerable without fear. I release myself from the fear of giving and receiving love. Father I open my heart right now to receive Your perfect love which casts out all fear. I release myself to the love of the Father and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ as a work of the Holy Spirit.

Lord, deliver me of all my fears, for it is written in Romans 10 v 13, “Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be delivered” and in Psalm 34 v 4 it says that You will deliver me of all of my fears. Lord, deliver me! In the Name of Jesus I command my hypothalamus to be at peace. Father I ask You for help. I ask You for the grace, power strength and ability that I need to renew my mind as I begin to meditate on the things I have been taught.

Father God, I am afraid of/that _(describe your fear, ie. Of being robbed, of losing my job, etc. )___. I know that You say that I should not be afraid, but I am struggling. You also said that when I am weak, You are strong. I don’t want to be victim to this fear anymore, so I bring this to You, so You can deal with it.

In a prophetic act, take the fear in your hands, step forward and put it down, as you pray: Father God, here is my fear of _______________. I give it to You, I lay it at the foot of the cross. Let Your will be done.

I declare that You are my saviour, my protector, my healer, my provider, my defender, my king, my maker, my Husband. I declare that nothing is too big for You, that everything is in Your hands, including my fears, because I gave it to You.

I thank you Lord, and I praise Your name, because You are worthy to be praised.

Amen.

Now the devil will continue to bring this before you, and you are going to have to remind yourself and the devil that you gave it to God. Everytime you feel this fear or think about it, stop yourself, and simply pray: “Lord, I gave this fear to you. I trust You and believe that You are with me and that I am Yours. Let Your will be done. Amen.”
