Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.James 5:16
Let’s say you have heard some potentially bad news be it a health scare, job loss, lawsuit, whatever. Your first initial reaction is probably fear. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
So many things that may freak you out and you start worrying over could better be handled by first taking a deep breath. Another deep breath. Get your heart rate down. Then be still before God and talk to Him in prayer.
The enemy of our soul, Satan, specialty is stealing peace and inciting anxiety. During anxious moments say “Lord I know you are the great provider, comforter and healer and I trust you with this situation” and then let Him have it. Put on some praise and worship music when wrong thoughts seep in say out loud “I reject that in Jesus name” and move on. Stand firm no need to fear.
PRAYER: Father give me supernatural peace when fear enters my heart. Help me stand strong and not allow the enemy to cause doubt. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Yes, we must pray first for any unusual or dangerous thing that seems to come our way. However, we sometimes get overly anxious and do other things in trying to resolve the circumstance. Then we learn how much time and energy we have wasted. I have that tee shirt as well. Peace and blessings to you.
