A Prayer to Love Without Fear
By: Rachael Adams

Bible Reading: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear.” - 1 John 4:18a

Read or Listen Below:

Rejection hurts. Whether it’s being excluded from a group, passed over for an opportunity, or experiencing betrayal, these moments can leave us feeling unseen, unwanted, and afraid to try again. In self-protection, we often pull back, building walls around our hearts to shield ourselves from further pain. While these walls may feel safe, they isolate us, keeping us from the community and the love we were created for.

But God’s love is fearless and steadfast. Even when humanity rejected Him, God pursued us—first in the garden, then through Jesus, and now through the indwelling Holy Spirit. His perfect love doesn’t waver in the face of our brokenness. Instead, it meets us right where we are, casting out our fears and offering the courage to risk love again. When we allow His love to fill and guide us, we can face our fears and step into the relationships He has for us, knowing we are always seen, chosen, and cherished by Him.

Let’s Pray:
Father, I confess that fear has kept me from fully opening my heart to others. The sting of rejection and the pain of past relationships make me want to withdraw. But I know You created me for connection and have given me a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind—not of fear.

Help me to trust Your perfect love to cast out my fears. Heal the wounds that make me hesitant to love and be loved. Give me the courage to step out in faith, knowing that You see me, You choose me, and You will never reject me. Thank You for pursuing me relentlessly and for loving me without condition. In Jesus’s name, amen.
