Precious one, as I look at you, I feel such delight in who I created you to be. Such excited anticipation for all that I have in store for you. The seasons waiting for you, the adventures we will have together, the things I want to show you and teach you, these fill me with overflowing joy.
But I also see the subtleties of fear creeping in. Uncertainties about decisions to be made, trepidation about what might happen, vulnerability over what could be lost. My child, I’ve got you.
Bring Me those fears. Don’t hide them, don’t pretend they’re not there. They are the lies sent to take you off course. Together we won’t let them. Let Me love the fears away. Allow Me to remove the spirit of fear, and lead you into a place of fearless anticipation!
Activation:
Ask Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where fear around the future has crept, subtly or blatantly, into your thinking. Talk to the Lord about these fears. Then release them to Him, and ask the Lord to fill these areas of your thinking with His love. Keep coming back to these prayers until fear has been replaced by joyful anticipation.
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love].
1 John 4:18 (AMP)
