“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Fear may try to freeze our hearts, but God’s Spirit brings freedom. That courage you feel when you step out in faith is His gift of power, love, and a sound mind at work. Imagine standing on a mountaintop, heart pounding not with fear but with exhilaration, knowing God is right there with you. Fear doesn’t come from God, so it has no final say. His perfect love casts out fear and ushers in boldness.
When anxious thoughts creep in, remember who walks beside you. You carry the DNA of a mighty God who empowers you to overcome. Take a deep breath and let His promises steady you. Today, fear might whisper, “What if,” but God’s voice says, “I am with you; be not afraid.” You can face your fears and move forward with Him in holy confidence.
Face one fear today with faith. It could be a big or small step but trust God’s presence. Speak 2 Timothy 1:7 aloud and take that step, knowing God’s power and love will accompany you.
