Look at Paul’s encouraging words to his friend Timothy: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). There’s a lot packed into this simple verse:
• Your fear didn’t come from God. He wants to set you free from fear!
• God offers to give you His power and love—the resources you need to overcome fear’s grip on your life.
• Although fear attacks us in our mind, God says you can have a “sound mind” today.
Perhaps you’ve been struggling with fear for a long time, but I encourage you to lay it down at Jesus’ feet as we pray:
Lord Jesus, You have promised that if we truly know the truth, it will set us free. Show me the truth of Your Word today, so I can be freed from my feelings of fear. I choose to trust You today, for You are bigger than anything that would cause me to be afraid. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
God Bless You!
