A Devotional Thought

Are you afraid? Feelings of fear engulf people each day. As My child, you have been given a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind, not a spirit of fear. My power is unlimited, My love is unending, and My mind is unequaled. As My precious son or daughter, you have all you will ever need. I understand there are times you are tempted to focus on your problems and struggles rather than on My strength. The chains of fear need not bind you. I have adopted you. You are mine. I have given you the privilege of calling Me Daddy. Come to your Daddy and experience the peace I have for you. Allow Me to embrace you, surround you, and engulf you with My love rather than being controlled by fear.

 

Romans 8:15

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

 

2 Timothy 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

 

Dear God,

I bow before You today acknowledging that often I am overcome with fear. I confess that worrying and living in fear is a sin against You because it demonstrates a lack of faith. I want to focus on You rather than on my problems and me. I lift my family to You and place them in Your hands. I will trust You rather than worry. I lift our Grace family to You and ask You to work in and through us. Bring an awakening to my heart and to Grace.

 

In Jesus’ name,
