The Ultimate Fresh Start // Beginning Again With God

DAY 3 OF 5

Fear Fades

My darling, I am in places of fear. I go there to chase it away, trample it with my foot. Heading into new territory with Me is a beginning to trust Me more deeply. It is a forgetfulness of self, a reliance on Me, a looking to Me for strength.

Fear can’t stay when your eyes are on Me, when you seek Me. It must flee because you are willing to go where I go.

A softening occurs when a heart formerly full of fear relaxes and looks to Me. Focus on Me wipes it away. The situation causing the fear may still exist, but there is hope now. There is truth now. There is clarity. You can only see clearly when you look to Me—for strength, for understanding, for wisdom, for courage. The mindset of fear focuses on the self.

Let Me help you turn your heart to Me.

Going out into unfamiliar territory—being stretched, walking in faith, does not mean you are alone. Fear should be most distant then. I am with you. I go with you, there in the places I call you to. I said it before: keep your eyes on Me, child.

My eyes are on you.

The Ultimate Fresh Start // Beginning Again With God

We love fresh beginnings—the new year, a fresh journal, a clean counter. Our good, gentle God loves fresh beginnings, too, and He is always at work doing a new thing in us. There’s nowhere else we need to look but to Him when we long to be renewed. Read along and invite the Holy Spirit to show you what He can do in you.
