Father, I thank
You that I have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated
into the Kingdom of Your dear Son. I commit to live free from worry in
the name of Jesus, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has
made me free from the law of sin and death.
I humble myself
under Your mighty hand that in due time You may exalt me. I cast the
whole of my cares, all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns –
once and for all on You. You care for me affectionately and care about
me watchfully. You sustain me. You will never allow the consistently
righteous to be moved – made to slip, fall, or fail!
Father, I delight
myself in You, and You perfect that which concerns me. I cast down
imaginations (reasoning’s) and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of You, and I bring into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ. I lay aside every weight and the sin of
worry, which does try so easily to beset me. I run with patience the
race that is set before me, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher
of my faith. I thank You, Father, that You are able to keep that which
I have committed unto You. I think on (fix my mind on) those things
that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and
deserving of praise. I will not let my heart be troubled. I abide in
Your Word, and Your Word abides in me. Therefore, Father, I do not
forget that manner of person I am. I look into the perfect plan that
you have for me and continue therein, being not a forgetful hearer, but
a doer of the Word and, thus, blessed in my doing!
Thank You, Father,
I am carefree. I walk in that peace that passes all understanding, in
Jesus’ name! Amen.

Therefore, since
we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us
run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on

him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God.

Do not merely
listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone
who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who
looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away
and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks
intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do
this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed
in what he does.
