Fear Not, God Is with You – Beloved Women – June 15, 2020
READ: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7 ESV)
TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: My body froze, and I was afraid. It was a steep hill I had driven down many times before. On this specific morning, anxiety and fear consumed me. While fear tried to take me out, God’s power had the final say. Although I was afraid, God was with me and guided me safely to my destination. We all have different fears and anxieties that we battle daily, but God equips us with the tools of God’s word, prayer and power to overcome them. With God on your side, you too will be victorious over fear and anxiety.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, Paul encourages Timothy to be bold and trust God. In the face of opposition because of Timothy’s youth, some questioned his call. Despite Timothy’s fears, he pressed forward with the assignment that God commissioned for him.
God calls us to things and places that are uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and make us afraid. Today, I invite you to surrender every fear and anxiety that you have and lay it down at the feet of Jesus.
During our fears, God is with us.
PRAY: Dear God, thank You for being present with me when I face fear or anxiety. Thank You for giving me the strength, courage, and Your Word to help me overcome fear. Thank You that I am victorious in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
REFLECT: How is God present with you when you face fear or anxiety?
