Do You Have A Spirit Of Fear?

I think a lot of us have a spirit of fear that we are wrestling with every single day. You’ve got a lot of fear and anxiety and worry that may have to do with your relationships, your finances, your children – whatever it is that keeps you up at night.

If that’s you, I want you to know two things:

1. You are not alone. I wish I could grab you by the shoulders and make you believe that! God has not abandon you; draw near to Him and He will draw near to you! He’s there, even if you don’t feel him or see him, He is with you!

2. I want you to run! Don’t run away, run to your hiding place, your true hiding place – not to the corner of the house that makes you feel safe, not under a blanket, or behind a bottle. Your true hiding place is in Him, because He is the only one who can give you the peace that you’re searching for.

I promise you, maybe not today, maybe not even tomorrow or next week, but eventually, you will walk away with a tremendous amount of courage. The kind of courage that can only come from trusting in a God that is much bigger than our fears.
