Faith Over Fear

“I will not fear” is the only acceptable attitude we can have toward fear. That does not mean we will never feel fear, but it does mean we will not allow it to rule our lives.

Fear is not from God, but faith is! We should remember to do everything with a spirit of faith.

 Faith is confidence in God and a belief that His promises are true. Faith will cause a person to go forward, to try new things, and to be aggressive.

Be firm in your resolve to do whatever you need to do, even if you have to “Do it afraid”!

To “Do it afraid” means to feel the fear and do what you believe you should do, anyway. Stand in faith, be thankful for God’s promises, and boldly pursue what God has put in your heart to do.

Prayer of thanks.

Thank you, Almighty Lord and God.

That I can live in faith and not in fear.

Regardless of the difficulty of the situation, I may be facing.

Regardless of the difficulty of the situation, I may be facing.

I will choose to do what you have called me to do, even if I have to “Do it afraid”.

Thank you for giving me the strength that I need.
