Dear Lord Jesus,

Please help me to overcome my fears...

For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

I need Your power, Your love and the sound mind that only you can provide.

May I possess only what You give to me, Your power, Your love and Your healing for my body, my heart and my mind.

May I pursue only that which promotes You and Your Kingdom which is coming. Matthew 6:10

You see the contents of my heart.

Please uproot all that is keeping me from loving all people as You love them.

Lord, please forgive me for all of the ways I have grieved You. I repent and turn to you.

I am amazed that You are always with me, saving me, rejoicing over me, loving me and singing over me...

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

Thank You for Your steadfast love and that you willnever leave me. I am so thankful for all that you have given to me. Hebrews 13:5

In the generous name of Jesus, I pray,

Amen.

Jesus: The Name Above Every Name

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him
and given Him the name which is above every name.
Philippians 2:9

The name of Jesus is the Name Above Every Name. It is more excellent than that of Adam, the first man, because Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Jesus’ name is more excellent than that of Noah, who saved his family from the flood, because Jesus came to save the world. Jesus’ name is more excellent than that of Abraham, the friend of God, because Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus’ name is more excellent than that of Moses, who delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, because Jesus’ name is powerful to deliver any from addictive slavery to sin. Jesus’ name is more excellent than that of any leader who defeated Israel’s enemies, because Jesus defeated sin, lust and the devil on the cross. What has Jesus done for you?

Lord, when I’m in trouble, I whisper, “Jesus.” When I want to break a habit or overcome an enemy, I say, “Jesus.” When I need anything, I pray, “Jesus.”

The name of Jesus is greater than that of every Old Testament prophet, priest or king, because Jesus was the focus of their ministry. The name of Jesus is greater than that of every apostle, including Paul, because Jesus called them, empowered them, commissioned them and used them. What Jesus has done for these people, He can do for you.

Jesus, Your name is sweet to me, for it saved me from sin. Your name is powerful to me, for it gives me strength and hope. Your name is above every name. Amen.
