"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)
Maybe the kind of fear you have is not of roller coasters, intruders, heights, and stuff like that but just fear of messing up a relationship somehow, fear of dying, fear of contracting the coronavirus, or even fear of being alone if you are a widow or widower. Maybe scared of the future or concerned about the world?
Today’s verse says it pretty clear and that is fear is basically not from God. God wants to help you attack your fears head on. First don’t feed your mind with television news and the ‘what ifs’ of life but instead maybe start yourself a blessing or thanksgiving jar where each day you write down something good. Get in the habit of thinking on good things as it says in Philippians 4:8. When ugly fear rears it’s head say “in the name of Jesus I rebuke this fear and wrong thinking” and then bury it.
Stay in the word. Find yourself a life giving non “religious” church that will lift you up not drag you down. You need to stay positive and uplifted and encouraged. Live life each day with hope, Joy, love, and let go of ugliness and meanness and pray for anyone around you caught up in things dragging them down. Now go have a non scary day.
PRAYER: The love of the Lord lifts, delivers, and heals. I pray for any who may be in a bad spot right now that the Holy Spirit infill them and direct their path into a peaceful joyful place, and with like minded friends to encourage them and love them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
