Dear God,
You have been teaching me that the opposite love is not hate but fear. Set me free from all fear that I may be secure, strong, confident and whole in Your love!!
- Lord, every time I strive and perform to win your love, I am sliding back into religious slavery. Forgive me for trying to get it right instead of surrendering my brokenness to you and letting Your power flow through me.
- Every time I act up and don’t treat those around me with your tender grace, I am feeling unloved. Oh, God, cause my feelings to line up with the truth in Your Word. While I was still a sinner, unable to do anything for You, You showed me Your Love by dying for my sins.
- God, I feel ashamed and I hide from You, from myself, from those around me. Set me free in love! I want to worship you with nothing in between us.
- Lord God, forgive me when I get intimidated and don’t speak or live in the glorious freedom you bought for me. Forgive me for fearing man instead of reveling in awe of My Glorious King who loves me.
I receive your forgiveness and I choose today to give and receive love from a place of tender surrender, knowing I am loved, adored and all my shame is washed away. I renounce all fear: the fear of man, the fear of rejection, the fear of punishment. I receive the spirit of adoption by which we can cry, “Daddy, Daddy!” Make me complete, perfect, whole in Your love.
I love you, Father. In Jesus Name, Amen
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. I John 4: 18
