No Fear

I cannot let fear rule me!  It seems to be everywhere around me–afraid for my kids, afraid of the violence in our city, afraid I am not praying enough and if I am not, bad things are going to happen (which is totally irrational). Fear whispering in my ear, “What makes your kids any different than other children touched by violence? Do you think bad things can’t happen to your kids? Do you believe you are better or holier than other parents, so this can’t possibly happen to your kids?”  On and on and on….

No!  You are a liar, devil!  God had not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind!  I will not allow fear to rule me!  I know who my God is.  He is the Author and Finisher of all things.

Fear has been (past tense) crippling me.  Afraid to move forward, afraid I will make a mistake.  Just staying still hoping situations will pass.  They will not pass!  They are not going to pass until I do what I am called to do.  This is a season of revival and I remember that greater is He that is in me, than he that’s in the world. God is everything and all things and I will not fear!
