Today : Trade Fear For Love
TODAY’S VERSE
Let all who fear the LORD repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” In my distress I prayed to the LORD, and the LORD answered me and set me free. The LORD is for me, so I will have no fear. Psalms 118:4-6 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
How much of your time is spent in fear? Not much you say. Okay, how much of your time is spent in defending or protecting yourself? How many thoughts are spent planning and plotting every detail of your life in order to make everything seem just right. Why? Because you fear that others may think poorly of you. One way or another, fear plays a large part in our life. In today’s passage the Psalmist has found an answer for his fear. When he was in distress he prayed to God and God set him free. Because of God’s loving intervention the author no longer feared. Rather, he meditated on God’s love and learned to trust in that love. Isn’t that what you and I need to do? Today, when fear comes to us, let us do what the Psalmist did. Let’s pray to God and let Him answer us. He will, because His love endures forever.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me overcome my fears. Instead of being fearful, help me to trust in Your faithful love. I give my life to You and ask You to guide me, protect me and set me free from the bondage of fear. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I give God my fear, He gives me His love
Picture your self in a fearful state. Anxiety is starting to rise. You can feel your heart beating faster. Pressure builds and your breathing gets shallow. As terror starts to build to panic, you stop and cry out to God. See God as He hears your cry and turns His head toward you. He says, “Give me your fear.” You sense a glimmer of hope and in desperation you give it to Him. And as you do, He gives you back His love. Feel His love bring you back to joy. Sense peace beginning to take over your body as you begin to relax. Affirm, “I give God my fear, and He gives me His love.”
