On the discussion of fear — ask yourself this question: “What am I afraid of?“
There was a time in my life that I was just scared — all the time. Almost like fear sat over me like a cloud constantly raining. I didn’t know how to articulate the fear. From my birth it was just a steady companion.
It’s taken strict adherence to the promises of God to change that. I cling to his words and they set me free.
- But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. ~ Isaiah 43:1
- For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” ~ Isaiah 41:13
- For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7
- Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. ~ Deuteronomy 31:6
