Father, I thank You that I have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of Your dearly loved Son (Colossians 1:13). I commit to live free from worry, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). I humble myself under Your mighty hand that in due time You may exalt me. I cast the whole of my cares – all my anxieties _____, all my worries _____, all my concerns _____ – on You, since You care for me affectionately and care about me watchfully. (1 Peter 5:6-7).
Heavenly Father, Your Word says to rejoice always (Philippians 4:4), and not to be anxious about anything. But in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, to present any requests to You. Then Your peace, which transcends all my understanding, will guard my heart and mind – as long as I keep them both fixed on Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Your Word assures me that You, O Lord, are good, a refuge in times of trouble, and You care for those who trust in You (Nahum 1:7). You also invite me to cast all my worries on You (Psalm 55:22). I know You will not forsake me (Isaiah 42:16). I will trust in You, O Lord; I will thankfully say, “You are my God; my times are in Your hands” (Psalm 31:14-15).
Father, I cast down my bad imaginations and every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of You. Please teach me to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 10:5). Thank You for guarding me and promising to keep me in perfect peace. Please teach me how to keep my mind stayed on You; I commit myself to You, my Lord; I lean on You, and I hope confidently in You (Isaiah 26:3).
I willingly lay aside the sin of worry that so easily entangles me (Hebrews 12:1). Instead, things which are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, if they be of good report or have any good virtue, or are praiseworthy, I will think on these things (Philippians 4:8). I strongly force myself to not let my heart be troubled (John 14:1). I abide in Your Word, and Your words abide in me. Therefore I will not forget what manner of person I am. I look unto Your perfect law of liberty and continue to do so, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the Word and thus I will be blessed in my doing (James 1:22-25). I thank You, Father, that You are able to keep that which I commit unto You (2 Timothy 1:12).
Father God, forgive me for worrying; I know I don’t have to bear my burdens alone. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for inviting me to come unto You, and for Your wonderful promise of rest (Matthew 11:28). Please teach me, Lord Jesus, and help me to take up Your yolk and to learn from You; for You are gentle and humble in heart, and I can find rest for my soul in You (Matthew 11:29). I gratefully receive Your peaceful rest as I lay down my burdens and worries at your throne.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You, O Lord, preserve my life. You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes; with Your right hand You save me (Psalm 138:7). You, O Lord, are my shepherd; I have everything I need. You let me rest in green meadows; You lead me beside peaceful streams. You renew my strength. You guide me along right paths, so You can bring honor to Your name. Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil; my cup overflows with blessings. Please allow Your goodness and unfailing love to pursue me all the days of my life, and I will gladly live in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:1-6).
Lord God, Your Word assures me that nothing shall be able to separate me from Your love, which is in Christ Jesus, my Redeemer (Romans 8:38-39). You have promised to supply all my needs (Philippians 4:19), and I know You know all my needs even before I tell them to You (Matthew 6:8). Father, Your perfect love casts out all my fears and worries (1 John 4:18). In fact, You have commanded me not to worry, because it is Your good pleasure to give me Your kingdom (Luke 12:32). The great and precious promises of Your Word thrill me, O gracious Father (2 Peter 1:4). I praise You for taking all my worries.
Lord God, I have the assurance of Your Word that You, the Great God of All Grace, who called me to Your eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after I have suffered a little while, will Yourself restore me and make me strong, firm and steadfast (1 Peter 5:10). You, O Lord, love me with an everlasting love; You have drawn me with loving-kindness. You will build me up again, and I will be rebuilt. I will take up my tambourine and go out to dance with the joyful ones (Jeremiah 31:3-4).
