Faith Over Fear

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Almost every day we face situations that compel us to respond in faith or react in fear. Thankfully, Jesus warned us and also made provision for us to be able to walk in faith and experience His peace. In John 16:33 NKJV, He tells us, These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. 

"Faith over fear" became very popular during the pandemic, and yet that's been God's message since the beginning. How many "Fear not" Scriptures can you recall? God included so many to build our faith. Romans 10:17, So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. 

Listen, this world may be full of fearful and fear-inducing situations, but our hearts don't have to be full of them. It is written, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Prayer:

Father,

           Forgive us for the times we try to control everything because of fear, thereby excluding You from the solution. We lay it all down, Father. We never want to exclude You from anything in our lives. We recognize and acknowledge that You are the answer to everything. Help us to see You more clearly, more perfectly in every situation. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
