When Prayers Turn Into Anxiety - God's Word for Your HeartPavyzdys

Speak: God Watches Over His Word

When you’re praying for someone close to you, it’s just as important to speak the Word of God to your own soul as it is to pray it over their lives. This is a spiritual battle. You must keep up your faith so you can continue to believe for their breakthrough, their healing, their salvation.

Otherwise fear can latch hold. Prayers turn into worry as you imagine the worst of scenarios. That’s when you must remember that God cares. He knows. His arm is not too short to save.

When your faith wavers and your peace is slipping away, speak to your soul! Remind yourself of God’s faithfulness. He is the God who never slumbers and never sleeps. The Bible says that He is watching over His Word to see that it is fulfilled. (Jeremiah 1:12 NIV)

God’s Word will not return void or empty. It will produce good fruit. Declare this truth to your soul and speak it over your loved one’s life.

Take time to seek out the specific promises of God for your loved one’s situation, and say them out loud as you pray. Announce them to every principality and power in the earth that tries to breed fear and anxiety in your soul.

Your faith will grow and over time, the situation will turn.

Here’s a prayer you can pray: “God, I believe You are watching over Your Word. I believe that Your Word will not return empty, but it will accomplish all the good things You have promised. I pray for (name). I speak Your Word of healing and salvation over their life. (Insert a scripture promise here.) I thank You, Lord, that You are at work in their lives. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
