Your Nightly Prayer: Silencing Fear by the Peace of God

Devotional – Night prayer for Silencing Fear by the Peace of God

Fear is a tormentor.
It whispers lies in the night.
It magnifies problems.
It steals courage.

Fear is not from God.
It is a spirit sent to limit your destiny.
It chains your thoughts.
It paralyzes your rising.

But God has given you a different spirit.
2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Peace replaces torment.
Love replaces fear.
Power replaces weakness.

Tonight, fear is silenced.
Peace takes over.
Your heart will not be shaken.
Your mind will not be tormented.
You will sleep in the safety of God.
