Fear Will Not Govern My Life
Full Text
I declare that fear will not be the governing authority of my life. I will acknowledge anxiety without surrendering my decisions, relationships, or future to it. God has given me His presence, His truth, and a community from whom I can receive help. I will not be ashamed to pray, to rest, to seek counsel, or to obtain professional care. When I am afraid, I will place my trust in God. I will take the next faithful step, and I will leave what I cannot control in His hands.
