As I sit here and write this blog, fear is trying to come in and get me to stop writing; trying to distract my God-sized dream! I honestly can’t tell you how many times fear has come up in my everyday thoughts. It seems like fear follows me everywhere!
Stimulating Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Food for Thought:
As I sit here and write this blog, fear is trying to come in and get me to stop writing; trying to distract my God-sized dream! I honestly can’t tell you how many times fear has come up in my everyday thoughts. It seems like fear follows me everywhere! There are times throughout the day where I try to hide my fears and pray in silence. I am not certain if Jesus himself had any fears, but I would definitely be able to relate to Him.
It is so amazing that God created us in His image. The bible says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God also did not place the feeling of fear within in us. Actually, there are hundreds of times in the bible where God says do not be afraid, do not fear, etc. God knows every feeling that we have before we know it. We have to truly rely on God to help us to overcome all of our fears!
Prayer:
Father, we thank you that you have given us the spirit of power, love and a sound mind. We thank you for covering us daily with your Love and Grace. Lord, we ask that you continue to keep a fence of protection around us and suppress all of our fears. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
