Proverbs 1:33
We all have our own fears, thus fear exists. Fear can make us feel uneasy, helpless, and prevent us from moving forward. But, we must remember that God is greater than our fears. However, faith doesn't mean putting our selves into danger recklessly or disregarding common sense. It does, instead, imply turning to God whenever fear comes. It means choosing courage over fear. As Christians, we must have courage; we must be strong in the face of our fears.
As Jesus fearlessly walked God's will, even to the crucifixion - He demonstrated courageous faith. Despite the fact that he knew he would face death, He chose to have faith in the Father and fulfilled the Father's will. Putting our faith in Jesus Christ gives us the strength to face our fears. When faith takes over, fear fades away. Fear, on the other hand, rushes in like a wave when faith is absent. Faith is the key to having the courage to face our fears.
It is possible that we are afraid of financial insecurity or even the uncertain future. No matter how scared, how troubled, or how uncertain things may seem, thankfully, God is in charge. To fight our fear, we must spend time in prayer pouring out our hearts to God. Then spend some time reflecting on who God is and what He has done for us. Also, reminding our selves of the promises He has made through His Word, the Scripture. Fear alone is nothing, when we have God in our lives.
God bless everyone! Have courage and face the day with a smile, knowing that God is always with us. 😁
