Fear....freedom from it.

Fear is not an emotion God wishes us to live in. 2 Timothy 1:7 says "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Yes, we all experience fear, but it is a choice we have to make to not live in it. If you are faced with a trial or a situation that is causing you to fear, then give it over to God and claim what Paul wrote. You can live under the power and peace of God's love and have a sound mind through any situation. When we get down to the real root of our fear it usually comes from not being within the will of God. When we choose to walk in God's will we claim His power over our fear. Psalm 34:4 says "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." If you find yourself living in a place of fear, seek The Lord and His will and direction for your life. In Proverbs 29:25 He tells us "The fear of man lays a snare(trap), but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe." Ask for His will for your life and trust Him to carry it out. He promises that is a place you will be safe! I obviously don't know what you may be facing, but He does... and He would love to walk with you through whatever it is.
