   A prayer for you, for God-confidence in all you do:

   'Father, I come boldly before your throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace for deliverance from emotional insecurity (see Hebrews 4:16). Your word says you make all your grace abound towards me so that I have all sufficiency in all things and abound in every good work (see 2 Corinthians 9:8). I cast down every thought of inadequacy and every imagination that rises up against what your word says about who I am and what I can do (see 2 Corinthians 10:5). I resist any anxiety over the possibility of losing a social, professional or other position or desired relationship. I know that no one can thwart your purpose for my life. You, O Lord, have sealed my destiny (see Isaiah 14:27). 'You guard all that is mine' (Psalm 16:5 NLT). I know, according to your word, that you deliberately shaped me in the womb to be your servant. Therefore, I rest, rejoice and trust that I am designed for my destiny and perfect for my purpose (see Isaiah 49:5). Because of your grace, I walk neither in self-doubt nor in self-confidence because I know that apart from you, I can do absolutely nothing (see John 15:5). Therefore, my eyes are on you alone to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I could ask or think according to your power that works in me (see Ephesians 3:20). I thank you that you've heard me and delivered me from all my fears, and they no longer have power over my life (see Psalm 34:4). In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.'
