Getting Free From Fear & Anxietyનમૂનો

"Fear not!"

Wow, how many times did I read that, as well as other similar commands in the Bible? Yet, even as a dedicated believer who loved God with all my heart, I struggled with fear for years.

I knew that Jesus came to give us abundant life, (John 10:10) and I wanted that abundant life. However, the enemy was subtle. He often assured me that I was not actually dealing with fear; I was using wisdom! All the while, fear continued to steal from me.

Galatians reminds us that it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. (Galatians 5:1) Our Heavenly Father would never promise something that He wouldn't deliver on. It might be a process, but freedom is a gift from your Father. He loves you and doesn't want you bound in any way.

Challenge

Condemnation does not have the power to change us.

I love how The Passion Translation expresses Romans 8:1. It says:

"So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

If you are struggling with fear, dread, or anxiety, please stand against condemnation! It simply cannot help you. It will only hinder you.

Prayer

Father God, I love you. I am so glad that you love me, even though I'm struggling. I refuse to give room to condemnation. Instead, I make room for You to reveal the Truth to me. You came to give me freedom, and I want to walk in it. Thank you for helping me to get victory in this area.
