"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)
There are things in all of our lives that cause us to fear or worry. We may fear losing something or someone. We may fear uncertainty or the unknown. In each of these circumstances we can allow fear and worry to creep into our lives, which can cause us to be afraid and weak. However, we don't have to let fear and worry drive our lives!
It can be easy to talk about having courage, being strong, and overcoming fear, but often it is difficult to actually practice. We may find it difficult to overcome fear and worry because we are trying to find solutions on our own. When we consider the things that terrify us, that make us be afraid or become weak, we need to step back and realize we cannot and do not have to overcome them alone. God is there for us. He goes before us and with us each step of our lives. When we call on Him, we can have faith that He will help us overcome whatever is causing our fear. God is more than our fears, we just have to call on and trust in Him!
When feeling fear or weakness, stop and realize that God is more than any fear!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being by my side. Help me to always call on and trust in You so that my fears disappear in Your presence. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
