I am asking all people that see this to pray for my daughter. The devil is putting a lot of fear in her. I know God is bigger than this. I need your prayers that God will release the fear that she has and that He will give her peace of mind!

When you pray with your daughter. Ask her to receive the peace that Lord will give her by having faith that He will give it to her. Tell her that the devil feels he can come in when there is fear there. He feeds on it. I will pray for her. God bless you both.


I'm not sure that's the best advice, Angela. "The devil feels he can come in when there is fear there"? Kids aren't that adept at controlling their emotions, and the last thing that's needed is for the child to have a moment of fear, which then becomes escalated because she's been told that the devil will come in anytime she's afraid. It just seems like it would make the situation a lot worse than it is.

If her fear really is debilitating, you need to talk to her doctor or a child psychologist to find out what is behind it.

You are her Mom and probably one of the closet people to her...are her fears baseless? Fear is an emotion that produces certain chemicals in the body and it turns into a cycle. Does SHE believe in God?...GOD TOLD US FEAR IS NOT OF HIM. Yet I understand fear intimately. Sometimes there is something in unseen warfare that we sense creating this...and if we know that, we fall into prayer to help in the battle. But that same motivating fear is also energy, peace and joy draining and you can be it's prisoner. BELIEVE ME I UNDERSTAND AND I WILL PRAY FOR HER!!!

Praying that God will release her fear is all well and good, but I would hope that you're not just sitting passively waiting for your deity to solve your daughter's problems. I would highly suggest combining your prayer with some definitive action, like talking to your daughter to find out what is behind her fears, and if needed, looking into having her see a therapist to help her overcome these fears.

The devil? How old is your daughter? I really don't feel its prayer you need but perhaps some help? Yes i do believe in God but i don't make my children fear the devil or let them think the devil places fear into them. Another crackpot reglion

Gee, if you told me the devil was putting fear in me, I'd be scared too.. Hope your Daughter is ok though and although I dont pray, I hope she over comes her fears.

Mrs. White,
My prayers are with your daughter and your family at her time of need. My daughter was deathly afraid of the dark about a year ago and still has a fear of it, but it has got alot better. I Know God is looking out for her and your family.

God Bless
Angie

What is your daughter afraid of? If she believes in God then all things are possible, fear is a good thing it's human nature. I know I will be praying for her

Sherri,

What is your daughters name? I will certainly send up prayers for her. Whatever is scaring her be assured that the Lord will be with her and have His arms around her.

God bless
