Fearless Prayer

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6)

All praise and honor, power and dominion, justice and mercy are yours, for you grant these things to us and urge us to employ them to advance your kingdom.

Forgive us when we yield to our fears and squander our legacy in you leaving those around us without a guide, without a hope, and with little or no resources.

Thank you for your grace and mercy demonstrated in Jesus of Nazareth, who lived a holy life, died in our place, and left us with the hope of salvation in Parables that sharpen our image of you.

In the power of your Holy Spirit, help us to cast off our fears and place our confidence in you that we might accrue the blessings of a centered life and avoid the curses of missed opportunities, like so many around us.

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
