Dear Friends,
Fear has a way of creeping in when we least expect it.
It whispers doubts, questions our strength, and makes the path ahead seem impossible to tread.
Even Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, felt the weight of what was to come. He prayed, not for escape, but for the courage to move forward, fully surrendering to God’s will.
What if we could do the same? What if, in the face of fear, we placed our trust in the One who holds every moment in His hands?
This prayer is for those moments when fear feels like a mountain too high to climb. Let it remind you that God’s power is always greater than your greatest fears.

The Prayer:
Prayer for Courage to Face Your Greatest Fears
Heavenly Father,
I come before Thee in the shadow of fear, trembling and uncertain.
Strengthen Thy servant, {insert your name}, as Thou didst strengthen Thy Son in His darkest hour.
Help me to lay my fears at Thy feet, trusting in Thy perfect will.
Grant me courage to step forward in faith,
Knowing that Thy power is made perfect in my weakness.
For Thou art my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.
Let not fear reign in my heart,
But let Thy peace, which passeth all understanding,
Guard my heart and mind through Thee.
Amen.
Recite This Bible Verse to Make the Prayer 2x Stronger
"Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
~ Joshua 1:9
Why This Prayer Matters:
Fear can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define your story. Jesus showed us that courage begins with surrender, acknowledging God’s power and trusting His plan.
This prayer matters because:
It helps you anchor your heart in God’s promises.
It invites His peace to quiet the storm within.
It reminds you that you don’t face your fears alone.
When fear tries to stop you, this prayer becomes your shield. Lean into it, and let God’s strength carry you forward.
Stay Blessed,
Motherly Prayers
