Petitionary Prayer for Myself

Today I am praying for myself. I am asking God to take away my fearfulness and tendency to worry. I remember clearly when I first learned that worry is a sin. It was quite a number of years ago but to say I was surprised is an understatement. Worrying felt like a part of me and, in a sense, it is...part of my very human nature, the completely-sinful-left-to-its-own-devices part, the completely-dead-in-its-sins part. Certainly not the regenerate-in-Christ-through-the-Holy Spirit part. But in Christ I have security and peace. I am praying for His help to remember that.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
