Father, in the name of Jesus, I stand against every influence of fear, terror, intimidation, panic, and torment.

Your Word declares: “The Spirit God gave us does not make us timid.

” — 2 Timothy 1:7, NIV

I decree that fear will not govern my thoughts, relationships, purpose, health decisions, finances, or future.

I bind the influence of fear that magnifies danger and minimizes God’s faithfulness.

I cast down catastrophic thoughts and every imagination that contradicts God’s truth.

I command every tormenting influence to leave my mind in the name of Jesus.

I sever agreement with the lies that I am helpless, abandoned, unprotected, or destined for disaster.

According to Psalm 27:1, the Lord is my light and salvation; therefore, fear will not become my master.

I receive power to act, love to remain grounded, and self-discipline to make wise decisions.

I will not call recklessness faith, and I will not call constant anxiety discernment.

Let the light of Christ drive out darkness.

Let God’s perfect love push tormenting fear out of my thoughts, according to 1 John 4:18.

I decree that my mind is guarded by the peace of God.

My thoughts are becoming stable.

My breathing is becoming calm.

My decisions are being made through wisdom rather than panic.

Fear must bow to the authority of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
