Today : Fear No More
TODAY’S VERSE
“I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Fear comes in different shapes and sizes. To be sure, there are full-blown phobias and crippling fears that can interrupt our life; but for most of us, fear is more insidious. Fears of rejection, insignificance, and abandonment may not interrupt our life but they can sure influence the way we think and act. Our thoughts, motives and behaviors are constantly shaped by either faith or fear. The Psalmist found the secret. He said that if we seek the Lord, He will deliver us from all our fears. Turn on the light of faith and the darkness of fear will dissipate. Decide to seek God today. Move away from fear and move your thinkng toward faith.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Lord, I want to trade my fears for faith. Today, when fear comes to my attention, I will seek You. I will seek You with all of my heart. Thank You that You promise to deliver me.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
God delivers me from my fear
Bring yourself into the presence of God. Sense Him there. Take the big bag of fears that you have brought with you and lay them at His feet. Visualize yourself pulling each fear out of the bag one by one. As you do you notice that God is not flinching. He is not worried. His peace begins to give you confidence and as you bring out each fear you take a piece of His peace and put it in your bag. Affirm, “God delivers me from my fears!”
