Scripture and a Prayer: “No Fear”

“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)

Prayer:

Lord, You are everything we need, therefore we will not fear the darkness of night. You are the light of life, and thus the light of our lives. Therefore, when the dark clouds of despair and depression threaten to block the light of Your love, we will run to You, for You are our strength and shield, our strong fortress in whom the enemy cannot penetrate. We also run to Your word, for it is a lamp for our feet and a light onto our path so that we will not stumble and fall. Strengthen us, Lord, with the Holy Spirit, because we cannot live effectively in and through our power, as You have said, “Not my might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” And so, may the light of Your love, and the power of the Holy Spirit be ours today. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
