Quote for Day 2:

“Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked,
when it cometh.”
– Proverbs 3:25 KJV

At a time when fear has been rearing its ugly head, trying to come at me from out of nowhere, but consume me with a continuing merciless grip, You remind me of this passage You taught me on how to deal with anxiety… my very real enemy.
While this cruel foe loves to torment me, and tries to make me feel sinful for experiencing fear, Your Holy Word reminds me fear is a human feeling, that I am very human, and that my Savior took on being human too.
Fear itself is very normal, and You are very aware of it. You gave us a bible full of verses that begin with Fear Not. To choose to Be Not Afraid is not pretending we are not human, it is choosing to trust You even though we know we are.

For anyone struggling with fear or anxiety, or are simply consumed by it, the Lord has many verses and bible heroes that have been there, including our Savior Jesus Christ when He agonized in the garden the night of His arrest.
Don’t be afraid of sudden fear. Just talk to God about it.
He knows and He cares. His Son has been there.
There are more scriptures you can read on fear in my old post My Fear of God.
Did you know that Jesus agonized too? Click here to read how He understands what you go through with fear… more than you might think.

  1. I woke up this morning to Psalm 3 and two verses kept popping at me: 5 I lie down and sleep;
    I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
    6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.

    I thought hard about when I used to fear not waking up. I thought long about all the enemies of my soul. But could only thank God because of His sustaining power that Has always kept me. Then I come here and read this . . . Bless you Gail, cos you are His vessel. Thank you for taking the challenge again even though you had done it before. You brought this message to me, it’s a confirmation I’m grateful for.

    1. What a wonderful thing to witness the beautiful love between you and God! ❤
      I love it when He is so personal like that… especially when it's before the world has access to you!
      Those verses are so fitting. He is so magnificent to have so many comforting verses regarding fear! He knows our very being! And exactly what we need… Him!
      Thank you for such touching words to glorify our Jesus! Praise His Holy name for manifesting Himself through the very nomination He used to encourage me!
      I am grateful for our friendship in Him! ❤
