My fears and worries can be overwhelming at times. They can feel like a terrifying monster lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce at any moment.
I'm aware that I have to realize that the reason I'm afraid is because I don't consider that God's presence is with me. Once I realize that God is indeed with me, my fears and worries will subside. With God's presence, I also gain access to the comfort of His promises, His peace, His protection, and His provision.
God knows me from the inside out, and His desire is to inspire me to find my courage and strength in Him alone. But my fallen humanity is stubborn and wants to hold on to its independence and self-sufficiency. It makes it hard to let go of myself and completely fall into the arms of God. But that's what I must do.
We are given permission to let go of fear because God assures us that there is no need to be afraid when we are with Him. (Isaiah 41:10)
