Stop Being Fearful

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.Philippians 4:8 NIV Bible Gateway

Want to know how to stop being fearful? Stop feeding your mind fear in form of doomsday forecasts, or watching constant news of all the bad happening. Tonight I slipped into a fear scenario while viewing a  You Tube video talking about the coming solar storm which would knock out the power grid and consequently mankind. 

Now do I continue to stimulate my fear senses with this notion, real or fake,  or do I choose peace and going after those things that bring peace?  A steady diet of ‘Debbie Downer’ news will soon have you in a panic unable to rest. 

My friend, God wants you to live in peace and it is the devil who tries to get you into a frenzy chewing your nails and pulling out your hair. Also you can’t start imagining bad things for your future either. Think on good things. Speak positive. Bring glory to God not Satan! 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus I choose peace over fear, love over hate, joy over sorrow. Help me to be a beacon of hope for someone struggling. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
