A PRAYER FOR FAITH AND AGAINST FEAR
In the Name of Jesus, Heavenly Father we draw closer to you this day. Father, I am sore troubled regarding these matters of _________, ___________________ and blank not knowing which way to turn. We join our faith together and stand on your Word for you are our solid rock. Father we cast off any fear that would come into the my heart. We instead cast the burden that ___________ (name) has this day upon you for I am the righteous and You will never suffer the righteous to be moved. We stand on your Word which says: And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, (ISAIAH 14: 3) Father we know that you will give me rest from the prayer concerns that plague her/his mind today. She/He will wait on you holding fast to your Word: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (KJV) (ISAIAH 40:31) Father we take solace of the Word given unto us which says: And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14: 13,14) Father, I know that this battle that she/he speaks of, prays about; the one that has consumed most of her/his thoughts is not hers; but it is yours Lord. Your word says The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Prov. 1: 23) Your Word says: Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Proverbs 1: 23) You said: Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. So Father I hear Your words today and in all future days. We confess that I am the head and not the tail, above and never shall be beneath. That _________ (name) will hearken unto your voice and keep your commandments. That she/he will hear your voice and the voice of a stranger she/he will not follow, regarding your guidance for her/his through these trials/tests that she/he faces.
Father, we don’t know how this is going to come out; but we know that NOTHING is too hard for you. We know that __________ (name) will hear your instruction and your reproof and if there is anything in his/her life that is in need of correction that she/he will diligently hearken to your Voice. It is our prayer that __________ (name) will not have indecisive faith but that she will meditate upon your Word both day and night; getting stronger and stronger always remembering that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Father, we know that you have heard our petition and that you will honor my prayer this day, sending your ministering angels out in her/his behalf. We give you glory and honor and praise and we thank you for your mercy and your grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. AMEN

in 1Corinthians, faith, God, God of all comfort, Heavenly Father, hebrews, Mark, mountain, prayer, prayer confessions, sufficiency, the blood of Jesus
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Hebrews 11: 6
By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. Hebrews 11: 8
Dearest Friend, Blessings to you and yours. It is with great joy that I write to you today because I have been on quite a journey and I am relieved to have my feet settled and be in my right place, even though my journey continues. I am writing to you today to encourage you and to tell you to hold your chin up and to stand tall and be proud. Whatever you may be facing; you are not in it alone. I am praying for you. Prayer warriors are praying for you; but that’s not all. You see, behind the scenes, angels are moving and God the Father is arranging things so that you may have perfect peace. You just have to stay focused on God and speak the truth; the truth of Gods’ Word. I want to talk to you about your faith and my faith.
Do you believe God? Do you believe His Word? Either you do or you don’t. Everyday your faith will be tested! EVERYDAY.
*One morning after leaving prayer, I was walking next to a fellow prayer warrior. I said with my mouth: “I hate these dizzy spells that I have! I can hardly see or walk!” My friend looked at me and shook her head. She seemed perturbed! She said: “I don’t believe it!” She went on to say something like we just left prayer and you thanked God for hearing your prayers and ANSWERING them and now you’re out here confessing sickness! She looked at me as if to say: “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON THAT WAS IN THERE PRAISING GOD?”
I didn’t understand her lack of sympathy and pity at the time. I certainly didn’t like her response. I even prayed about it. Months passed and I realized this was good medicine that she gave to me. Sometimes believers go to other believers for advice and instead of a long dissertation of sympathy, they just need to hear three words: “ DO YOU BELIEVE GOD?”
On the next page, I’ve written a prayer/confession for you.
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE GOD!
Heavenly Father, I have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 10:19) I will not cast away my confidence in you regarding this situation that I face or am enduring because I KNOW that it hath great recompense of reward). (Hebrew 10: 35) I am the just and I live by faith. (Hebrews 10: 38)
I will fight the good fight of faith. Thereby I will lay hold on the eternal life that I have been called to and I will continue to profess a good profession before many witnesses. (1Timothy 6: 12) I thank you Father that Your hand is upon and on this situation that I face. I thank You that You are God and that You are able to make all grace abound toward me that I ALWAYS have all sufficiency in ALL things and that I may abound
(be plentiful, thrive and flourish) to every good work! (2 Corinthians 8: 8)
Thank you Father for being the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1: 3)
I thank you that You comfort me in all of my tribulation. (2 Corinthians 1: 4) My faith is in Your power. (1 Corinthians 2: 5) I have the God kind of faith. (Mark 11: 22) If a problem is in front of me or hindering me; it is a MOUNTAIN! Therefore, I “say” unto the mountain in front of me: BE THOU REMOVED _______________ (speak whatever it is) AND BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA! (Mark 11: 23) Because I believe and have NO DOUBT in my heart; I will have what I say. God’s Word says so and I BELIEVE GOD! In Jesus Name, AMEN
