Opening Prayer:
Father of Love, thank You for casting out fear with Your perfect love. Teach me to rest in Your embrace and to walk boldly in Your truth. Amen.

Scripture:
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us." — 1 John 4:18–19

Spiritual Nugget:
God’s love is not just an emotion—it is power that transforms fear into confidence. Fear whispers lies of punishment and rejection, but God’s love declares freedom, forgiveness, and belonging. We don’t have to strive to earn His love; He loved us first. That truth anchors us in security. When His love fills us, fear loses its grip. In relationships, decisions, and even struggles, love can guide us more strongly than fear ever could. Perfect love does not mean we are flawless—it means His love completes what we cannot.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You that Your perfect love covers every fear in my life. When I feel anxious about the future or uncertain about my worth, remind me that You loved me first. Help me to rest in that truth and let it shape my choices, my relationships, and my peace. May I reflect Your love to others in ways that cast out fear and draw them closer to You. Amen.
