FEAR

Fear is something we all know—no one gets away from it. It doesn’t pick and choose who to visit; it shows up for everyone at some point.

But here’s a truth that gives me hope: the Spirit of God living inside us is stronger than any fear we face. It’s not about fighting with loud words or grand gestures. It’s more like a quiet, steady strength that helps us stand firm, even when fear tries to shake us.

God didn’t give us fear (2 Timothy 1:7). In fact, the Bible talks about fear over 300 times—not because God wants us afraid, but to remind us to trust Him instead. Fear often comes when we doubt if God really has everything under control.

What’s amazing is that when we decide to trust God with our whole heart, those fears don’t have to rule us anymore. They become His to carry. He takes on the worries we can’t handle, so we can find peace and freedom in Him.

So let’s lean into that power God gives us—the Spirit inside. Let’s choose to trust Him day by day. When we do, fear loses its grip. We don’t have to face it alone because God is always right there with us.

"But you will not even need to fight.
Take your positions;
then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory"
2 Chronicles 20:17
