“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” Psalm 56: 3 NKJV
FEAR AND faith are both powerful forces. And the one you surrender to will control you. So here are some Scriptures to fight your fears:
“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord…will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you” (1Chronicles 28:20 NKJV).
“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust” (Psalm 18:2 NKJV)
“In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” (Ps 56:11 NKJV).
“He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord” (Psalm 112:7 NKJV).
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV).
“My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27 NKJV).
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT).
“Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” (Romans 8:38 NLT).
Bottom line: Anything you set your mind of controls you, set your mind on God's Word and
Fight your fears.
"NOW SET YOUR MIND"
“Set your minds on things above.” Colossians 3: 2 NIV
SETTING YOUR mind is similar to setting a thermostat; it determines the climate you live in. So, set your mind on God’s Word! Instead of trying to stop thinking wrong thoughts—which immediately brings to mind the very thoughts you’re supposed to stop thinking—fill your mind with God’s Word. Jesus told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would remind them of what He had taught them (See John 14:26). So when you file the Scriptures in your memory bank, God’s Spirit will pull those files when you need them. Picture an amateur pilot navigating through his first storm. He can’t see any landmarks around which to fly because they’re locked in a fog. But then a voice comes from the controller in the tower saying, “Just listen to me, and I’ll guide you.” Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33 NIV). Paul writes: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV). For example, what should you do when the economy is bad? Recognize that neither Wall Street nor Main Street decide your security—God does. What should you do when someone criticizes you? Take what’s good and let no one but God determine your worth. By keeping your mind on God’s Word, you’re at peace in any situation.
Thou shalt not be afraid!
Thank you
