You’ve prayed about the fear. You handed it to God. And a few hours later (or even minutes) it’s back, knocking at the door of your heart like it never left. If you’re tired of fighting the same fear over and over, this episode is for you.
This week on Untangling Prayer, we sit with an honest question: how do I pray when fear keeps knocking? Drawing from Psalm 34:4 and 1 John 4:18, Rachel unpacks a shift that changes everything about praying through fear. Not fighting harder, but receiving God’s perfect love because it is stronger than the fear itself. Plus, the true story of missionary Amy Carmichael, a little girl’s prayer for blue eyes, and the surprising way God’s “no” turned out to be His love all along.
You’ll discover:
- Why Psalm 34 says God delivers us from our fears, not always from our troubles, and why that matters
- The difference between fighting fear and receiving the love that crowds it out
- What 1 John 4:18 actually means when it says perfect love drives out fear
- How to pray through a fear that keeps coming back instead of waiting for it to disappear
- The true story of Amy Carmichael and a prayer God answered forty years later
However long fear has been knocking, His love is greater than your fear.
