Refuse To Live In Fear

When God told Joshua to not be afraid, He was not commanding him to not “feel” fear. He was commanding him to not give in to fear he was facing.

“Do it afraid”. That basically means when fear attacks you, you need to go ahead and do whatever you need to do. You may do it with your knees shaking or your palms sweating, but do it anyway. That is what it means to “Fear not”.

We can be thankful we have scripture to meditate on when we feel afraid. God’s promises strengthen us to keep pressing forward no matter how we feel. The word of God will give you the faith you need to overcome any feeling of fear.

Prayer of thanks

Thank you

Almighty Lord and God,

That I do not have to give in to a feeling  of fear.

With your help, I can press forward and do what I need to do regardless of my feelings.

Thank you, Lord God,  That I can do it afraid.
