” Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear him who can destroy both the soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. so do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:28
Praying with the fear of God is not being scared of God. It is being true to him and believing in him for all things. It is showing reverence and respect for his strength and wisdom in our lives. It is being in awe of his wonderful works in our lives and recognizing his greatness and majesty. It is being humbled before Him by recognizing our own weaknesses and his great strength. It is being in submission to him with the readiness to listen and do as he tells us to do. Praying with the fear of God is about approaching God with a deep sense of reverence, respect, and humility, being sensitive to His sovereignty and seeking to align our life with his will.
It is time to take our thoughts away from this world and begin to apply them to the greatest protector we have. It is time to submit to the Lord’s ways and to be obedient to him in every action we take. It is time to do away with fear of what the world may do to us and begin to live with the authority of Christ Jesus in our lives. It is time to pray and to pray with the fear of God! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
