There are several scriptures that remind us in the Bible to be fearless and courageous. God desires for us to walk upright in peace and trust him. When we do then our focus shifts to God and off of our problems that are so small at the hands of a big God.
Proverbs 30:5 (NIV) - Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)- Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
2 Timothy 1:9 (NIV)- For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
I admit that in the face of life’s challenges that l have experienced anxiety and fear. Yet, l have found peace when l focus on God and begin to speak his continued promises beyond what l see. God is able to uplift you and give you a spirit of freedom and holy boldness. Don’t let fear hinder you from moving forth. There are great things for you to conquer and fear will only keep you down. Open your heart and trust God. No one said it would be easy but the impact you make will certainly be worth it.
