Forgive me Father for I have been fearful of many things,
And, not putting all my trust in Jesus, King of all Kings,

I allowed Satan to rob me with his lies,
But, now I know the truth through your eyes,

I feared I would never be loved,
But am loved by You, My Father from above,

Disapproval I feared to receive,
Your disappointment I did perceive,

But, You accept me for who I am & will be,
Thank You for Your forgiveness & approval in me,

I feared being embarrassed over foolish things,
Instead of being complete in Jesus my King,

The fear of failure has brought failure to me,
Through Your grace, a failure I will never be,

Fear of confrontations has caused me to hold back,
Even from You, in Whom my faith I did lack,

The fear of being a victim has left me paralyzed,
In Christ I am powerful I now realize,

Fear of him hurting us again,
Has caused me to be scared within,

Now I renounce Satan’s lies,
And ask to find favor in Your eyes,

I put my trust totally & whole heartedly in You,
And turn over these fears to be made anew,

No longer will Satan have power over me,
Because I’m Your child & always will be !
