Dear Lord,

I can't do it anymore. I'm tired. I'm tired of living half a life. I'm tired of letting the facade of fear intimidate me before I try. I'm tired of not knowing what it would be like to see the dreams you draw of me.

I'm tired of letting fear taunt and torment me out of the life you've made for me. I'm tired of watching the resemblance of my dream go to someone else. God help me to LIVE in a place where fear is not an option.

God help me to face anything you ask of me. God help me to walk on water with you. God help me to close my eyes and let my faith in what you say lead me. God help me to do this by trusting in the great, big God asking me to take a step more my inadequacies.

Lord help me to understand that the enemy will ALWAYS use fear as an excuse whether it's a big or small step so I might as well do it afraid. Lord help me to embrace the unknown, uneasiness, uncertainty, newness of where you're taking me and take risks with you.

Lord help me to do it afraid so I can see the other side of what you know about me. Lord help me to live a life where I'm dealing with fear in a healthy way so I can see what you can do through me.

God I don't want to live a half life. I don't want to see the fullness of what you have for my life. I'm tired of missing opportunities. I am not and will no longer be a slave to my fear. I am not a slave to my fear. I serve you God. Fear can not be my God because you are.

Fear will not tell me how to live. I will not dwell in fear. I will not use the lies of fear as scripture to dictate the direction my life will go in because that seat is for God and God only.

I will live a full life serving you no matter what I think will happen because I trust you God. I trust you with all my heart, mind, soul and everything. I trust you with all of me. I will remember to trust you when fear creeps up. The emotions will be there because that part makes me human but I will not serve it.

I choose to live on the other side of anything that stands up as opposition against what you have for me.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
