Day 2: Breaking Fear And Anxiety

Today, focus on releasing fear and anxiety over your financial future. Fear and anxiety creep in when your financial future becomes uncertain. This often opens the door to doubt, allowing the devil to whisper discouraging thoughts and fill your heart with worry.

But remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). This means that God has equipped you with the strength to face and change any challenging situation you may find yourself in.

Consider how Moses faced the Red Sea, trapped between the water and Pharaoh’s army. In that impossible moment, he lifted his eyes to God, and God provided a supernatural solution. No matter how dire your financial situation seems, even if you’re fearful of meeting essential needs, God encourages you to be strong and courageous. He promises never to leave or forsake you.

Fear and anxiety cloud your awareness of the power God has placed within you. But remember, this power is your inheritance in the Lord, part of the spiritual armor He provides. So today, drive out fear and anxiety, and replace them with God’s power. The power to tear down any demonic strongholds over your finances and to walk in His peace and provision.

Prayers for today

Prayer for Freedom from Fear

Psalm 34:4
 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Let’s start the day with a prayer to break free from fear. Fear can be paralyzing, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face your present challenges. It’s natural to wonder how you’re going to make it through when you look at your circumstances.

But today, I encourage you to shift your focus. Instead of dwelling on your limitations, turn your eyes to the mighty God you serve. He has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Remember, the God who created the heavens and the earth is the same God who is with you now. He will strengthen you, uphold you, and deliver you from all your fears. Trust Him, for His power in you is greater than anything that stands against you.

Prayer

Almighty Lord,
Today, I come before You with an open heart, seeking freedom from fear. Lord, I am afraid. The weight of this financial burden feels overwhelming, and at times, I find myself gripped by worry about how my family will survive. Looking at my savings, I see limits, but Lord, I know that You are limitless.

Father, replace my fear with faith. Your Word says that You have not given me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Fill my heart with Your love that casts out all fear. Grant me courage to face each day with confidence in Your promises and give me the assurance that You are always with me.  

Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let it guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help me to trust in Your provision, knowing that You care for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field and how much more You care for me and my family. Remind me, Lord, that You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.

In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. 
Amen.

Prayer for Overcoming Anxiety

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Psalm 112:7
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

It’s natural to worry and dwell on your situation—it happens to all of us. But often, overthinking only makes you more anxious and steals your peace. Instead, the Bible encourages us to cast all our cares on God, for He cares deeply about us. He invites you to give Him your burdens, so you no longer have to carry them alone.

Let God handle the worries that weigh you down. Trust Him with your concerns and allow His peace, which surpasses all understanding, to guard your heart and mind. Find rest in His presence today, knowing that He is in control and working all things out for your good.

Prayer

Father Lord,
I pray that You cast out any fear within my heart, for I know that fear only renders me powerless. Please remove any anxiety that I feel about my situation, and replace it with Your peace and assurance. I believe in Your Word and in the inheritance I have through You.

With the authority You have given me, I stand firm against these financial troubles. I speak power into my finances. The power of Your sustenance and provision to reign over every area. I declare abundance and growth over my finances, and I trust that You are multiplying my investments and blessings.

I will not be shaken by bad news, nor will I lose hope when challenges arise. In Your strength, I stand steadfast, confident that my finances will flourish and grow to reflect Your glory.

Amen.

Prayer for Faith and Trust in God

Psalm 56:3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

Isaiah 40:31
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.

Faith in God is often tested in times of trials and challenges. When you’re not steadfast in Him, it’s easy to waver and feel like giving up. But this is precisely the moment to strengthen your resolve, to put all your hope and trust in the Lord.

The Bible tells us that God blesses the one who trusts in Him. It also promises that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

Don’t lose hope, and don’t let your faith waver. Hold tightly to the Lord your God, knowing that He is faithful. In Him, you will find the strength to endure, the grace to overcome, and the blessings that come with steadfast trust.

Let this be the time to deepen your relationship with Him. Through prayer, meditation on His Word, and unwavering faith, you’ll stand firm against every trial and experience His peace and provision.

Prayer

Almighty Lord,
With everything going on in my life, I ask for trust in You. Strengthen my faith, dear God, because I know that is all that truly matters. Help me not to waver, and help me not to lose hope in You.

Guide me to tune out any negative influences and resist the temptations to sin against You and my fellow men. Teach me to be still and wait on You for my financial breakthrough. Help me not to rush in life to chase after what isn't meant for me, but instead to trust in Your perfect timing. Grant me the patience to wait on You for what is truly mine and the wisdom to recognize Your blessings when they come.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. I trust that You are working behind the scenes for my good, and I place my life, my family, and my future in Your capable hands. I surrender to Your will and give You all the glory, for I know that You are faithful to provide.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. 
Amen.

Gratitude for God’s provision

Psalm 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Psalm 107:9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

1 Chronicles 16:34
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

You may be anxious and afraid of the future right now, but if you shift your focus to all the times God has come through for you, it will remind you of His faithfulness and provision in your life. Right now, things may seem scary, but remember, this isn’t the first time you’ve faced uncertainty. Look at where you are now, no longer bothered by past problems because God delivered you from them.

So, take a moment to give thanks to God for His provision. Praise His name for all the times He came through for you when all hope seemed lost. Doing this will help you release any fears and concerns you have now.

Prayer

Almighty Lord,
I want to take this moment to thank You for all that You are and all that You continue to do for me and my family. Thank You for Your provision and for always making sure we have a roof over our heads and food on our table.

I reflect on all the times we've faced difficulties, yet You pulled us through each and every one of them. I thank You, Lord, for Your grace and mercy that are abundant in our lives. Thank You for Your constant love, which assures me that whatever we are going through now is only temporary, and Your glory will shine through in Your perfect time.

Amen.

Bible verses to meditate on today

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy 31:6

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind
2 Timothy 1:7

Philippians 4:19 
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:25-32
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
