In God’s Word, He always tells us the reasons to not be afraid. He always tells us that He is with us and will never leave us. He tells us to trust Him and to keep our minds on Him. Then, we can have peace instead of fear. He tells us that if we pray and petition, with thanksgiving, we can have peace that passes all understanding.

It is God’s will for us to not be bound by fear. He has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, of love, and of a sound mind. He is able to help us face our greatest fears when we trust in Him and ask for His help to make it through.

Many times in life, we will feel fear, but we do not have to be afraid. We do not have to let our feelings decide how we spend our time or decide how we approach life. We must let God’s Word be the truth and not believe our fears. We must believe His Word when God says “the Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

God is willing to help us anytime we need it, and we can cast our cares, worries, and anxieties upon him; because he truly cares for us. We do not have to live in fear; Jesus died to set us free from sin and everything that is not of faith, is sin. We can live by faith and not by sight. We can live by trusting in God and not by trusting in man. We do not have to fear men (or women) or what he or she can do. For if God is for us, who can be against us? No weapon formed against us will ever prosper.
