For the Leader Who Feels Afraid
Feeling afraid? Pause and settle in with me for a few minutes. Take a deep breath. I see you.
A Prayer For the Leader Who Feels Afraid
God, I need You. Fear is trying to get the best of me. But I know You have already equipped me for this moment. In uncertainty, I find peace in Your presence. When fear tries to overwhelm me, remind me of the strength You’ve placed within me. Help me live with wisdom. Help me be brave and full of courage. Let faith steady my anxious heart. I am never alone, even in the shadows. You have prepared me for this very moment. Fear has no power. You called me. You chose me. I belong to You. The One who holds the oceans in His hand. Help me move forward, one step at a time, one breath at a time, confident in Your goodness and grace. In Jesus name. Amen.

Speak the truth. Look for evidence in God’s Word to combat the fear. When you find it, write it down and say it out loud.
Take action. Do something, anything. Don’t wait for the fear to go away. Take one small step toward the thing that’s making you afraid, and do it today. PS: Working through these three steps counts!
