Get the appNot Afraid: How to Overcome Fearનમૂનો
The Answer to Fear
Reflect/Discuss
- What reasons does God give to not be afraid?
- In what ways have you seen these promises in your life?
Consider
To be unafraid is not easy, especially when we’re in the middle of a frightening situation. Yes, we know that God is all powerful and able to protect us, but it doesn’t always help us when we feel afraid. There can be a disconnect between knowledge and emotion. What changes this is not just knowing about the God who is with us, but actually knowing the God who loves us.
God gives a simple and compelling reason to trust Him in our fears—we belong to Him. He says that He has redeemed us (purchased with a price) and called us. Because we are His, and are valued by Him, He will protect us and has our best interest in mind. As we know more of who God is and understand our connection with Him, the more we realize what it means to belong to Him. Then when we see the dangers around us, we can truly say, “whom shall I fear?”
Act
- Intentionally seek to know God more. Each morning, think of one characteristic of God that brings you comfort. Then throughout the day, look for the way you see God comforting you in that manner.
Scripture
About this Plan
We have many fears in life. Our fears might be external—we may fear people or illness. They could be internal, like being afraid of failure or loss. While it’s natural to experience fear, God does not want us to live in fear. He wants us to live courageous lives. In this Bible plan, we’ll explore how we should see fear and how God helps us to overcome it.
