God’s Promises Out Loud
Perfect love DOES cast out fear. (1 John 4:18) “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
I can fear not, because HE IS WITH ME. (Isaiah 41:10) “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right “hand.
I will not be anxious about everything, but with prayer WILL present my needs to God. (Philippians 4:6) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Did you know there are 366 Bible verses dealing with fear and anxiety? God knew we would all struggle with this daily. What awesome evidence that He walks beside us!”
Fear is something most of us face or have faced at some time in our lives. There are those who take medication for anxiety, in fact we give anxiety meds to our dog. Thankfully, God has given us wisdom, training, and experts to help us in time of need.
The best source for help is found in God Himself. Speak your fears or worries aloud, God knows exactly what you are thinking and feeling. As you know He knows but it is good to speak them out. Ask Him for help. Ask God to take away the anxiety, the fear, the pain, to help you know what is true, and to fill your heart with His peace. He will answer.
Take a look at what God has done for you, how He has blessed the things in your life. Speak them out and hear for yourself what he has done for. As you speak His blessings in your life your faith will grow as you see what he has done.
Then act on what he has done, think on the positives in your life, confess the blessing that have come your way we all have them. When you feel anxious (if you again) call on Him he ahs promised to be by our side to comfort us in time of need.
Too many Christians forget about thanking the One who answered the prayer and took care of the need, Remember to God goes the glory. Give Hin praise and thanks for His help in your life. Stand on His Word in faith.
God Bless you as fear is defeated in your life and you can walk in faith.
