This is a toughie! Fear and Faith just cannot work together. If you are fearful, your faith needs to be strengthened. How can you build up your faith? Isaiah 41:10 is a great reminder! This is a verse to tuck into your memory so if fear creeps up, you can let this verse flash into your mind to restore the strength of faith! Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip.” Lots of things in this crazy world of ours can stimulate the fear issue. Our world and the folks in it can sometimes be quite out of balance and forget whose world this really is and that HE is in charge.
When illness knocks on your door and befalls you, for many of us, fear rushes into your thoughts. Do you anticipate illness based on your “family” line of ailments? Did you watch something online or on TV and now fear it is “headed” your way? Jeremiah 30:17 reminds us, “I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the Lord.” Do your part. Claim the FAITH God teaches you in His Holy Word. Strengthen your faith to stand strong against fear. Fear NOT, you are loved unconditionally.
