Fear is one of the most persistent struggles in our life. It can grip our mind, tighten our chest, and whisper lies about the future.
This fear is more than a feeling, sometimes is an attack from Satan meant to weaken our confidence and silence, our faith.
If you look at this as if fear is a spirit and God has not given us a spirit of fear. God does not intend his children to live in bondage to worry, dread, or anxiety. Instead, He gives us His Holy Spirit, and He repeatedly offers promises – solid, unchanging, eternal promises to steady our hearts and anchor our faith.
Fear feeds on forgiveness about who God is and what Ge said, and how He has provided for us in the past.
We see an example of this in Timothy when fear caused him to forget the gifts God placed within him. Paul told Timothy in 4:14, “Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, it was given to you through prophecy…” When we focus on fear it takes all the blue out of the sky. We forget who we are and what God has done for us.
Fear also grows from a wrong view of God. I was raised on fear -fear that if I wasn’t perfect, God would judge me. But we magnify our problems more than God; our hearts, naturally, tremble. God desires us to live not in faith, not in fear. He repeatedly tells us, “Do not fear,” not as an impossible burden, but as a loving invitation to trust Him.
God wants us to be free from fear because fear shrinks our lives, silences our gifts, weekends, our testimony, and robs our joy. Faith, however, enlarge as our lives, open the doors, strengthens our spirits, and fills us with peace.
