Overcoming Fear

For God has not given us
a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7

How much power does fear have over you?
Many people are missing out on God's
abundant life of joy, peace and victory
because they are paralyzed by fear.
They are afraid to make a decision,
afraid to confront issues,
afraid to step out in faith,
afraid of the past
and afraid of the future.
It is not God's will that
any of us live this way!

Fear is not from God.
The tendency to shrink back
from life's challenges was not
put in your heart by Him.
Instead, God has given you power,
and His power is greater than
the power of fear.

We must deal aggressively with fear.
You cannot be passive and expect
to live in victory.
The only way to conquer fear
is to confront it head on.
It's amazing how fear dissipates
when we face it instead of ignoring it
or running from it.
When we face and confront our fears,
we quickly learn that fear is simply
False Evidence Appearing Real.

Be strong-willed and resolute,
knowing that the enemy is already defeated.
As you declare God's Word that says you
can be bold and strong, you will have the
courage to conquer fear and moved
confidently into the abundant life
He has for you!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me power to overcome fear.
I choose to face fear head on and drive it out of my life.
Show me any areas of my life where fear is holding me back
so that I can press forward into the life of victory
You have for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
