Why Do You Fear?

Lord Jesus, I have nothing to fear knowing You are in control. There is no accident, injury or circumstance that can happen beyond Your sovereign will. Please guide me to realize just how great and powerful You really are!

Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the Word, but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the Word, making it unfruitful (Mark 4:18-19).

Jesus said to him, “If I can? Believe! All things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23).

Fear limits the joy you experience in your life.

“Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (Mark 4:40)

Fear is faith working in reverse. Faith can never be found where fear is. Fear always cancels faith.

“You of little faith! Why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31)

“Don’t be afraid. Just believe!” (Mark 5:36; Luke 8:50)

The Hebrew word for “fear” means to reverence or to honor God as God. We are not to fear anything or anyone but God alone.

Wrinkles should merely indicate here the smiles have been.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).

In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death – that is, the devil – and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews 2:14-15).

To rescue us from the hand of our enemies and to enable us to serve Him without fear (Luke 1:74).

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption! (Romans 8:15).

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind/judgment (2 Timothy 1:7).
