-Replace fear with faith. Our God is great! With him, we overcome. Do not have a spirit of fear, but a spirit of faith. Be fearless and bold. Do not let the circumstances surrounding us bring you to distress. Father tells us to turn all our worries to him and that he cares for us- if the Lord is our shield- why do we fret? Let us come to the feet of Christ and let him silence our thoughts - let us be in his presence and know he is good. He is with us- yet we forget; turn to the many voices and the many troubles fearfully, but that is not how we are to stand. We must be strong and brave and not fear- he commands us to be courageous, let us put on God's armor and delight in him. In a world of chaos and noise - let us hear his voice and obey. Let us not conform to this world or its ways- let us trust in him. Let us say no matter what happens, our faith remains. Be devoted princes and princesses. Our King is still in power, and he is still on the throne!
My Father, I pray that where fear is, faith overpowers it and that the people hope and trust you. I pray that they see you and your power and become full of confidence in you. I pray that they place their hopes, dreams, and problems in your hands and that they find and treasure the light you are shining for them right now. In Jesus name, Amen. "Dear child, it is good for you to draw near me, says the Lord; see me and not the war. I am your God; I am over you; beside you, inside of you; and all around you. Therefore - do not fear."
I looked to the left and to the right, and I could not see you. I wondered if you were gone from me - if you did not care. I heard a voice in my heart that said see me. I looked up. And I understood. You were watching me the whole time. -Your love surrounds me. I am complete in you.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
