DAY 7 OF 31

Fear

Fear or that impending sense of dread is the exact opposite of Who God Is. Jesus is constantly replacing fear with cheer, hope, peace, trust, belief, light, possibility! Whatever your mind is fixed on, leads you. Who or what is your higher power? Don’t punish yourself by allowing gnawing fear to remain. What kind of words do you use to describe what you feel or who you are? When you catch yourself on a negative train, stop and redirect your thoughts. Never let a single negative thought go unchecked. Reposition to reimagine from God’s eyes. Replace dread, worry and concern with joy, trust and peace. Focusing from Jesus’ perspective and the good things He does repositions you to remain in confident love.

Memory Verse

“Get up, and don’t be afraid.” Matthew 17:7.

Declaration Prayer

I will submit to God and resist the devil, and he will flee from me. I am of God, and overcome evil; because greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world. There is no fear in love; but God’s perfect love casts out fear in me, because fear has punishment and involves torment. I will not fear because I am made perfect in love. For God didn’t give me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, sound mind and self- control. Finally, I will be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. I put on the whole armor of God, so that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Above all, I am taking up the shield of faith, with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. The weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds. I am throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I will dwell on whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you Lord, alone, make me live in safety.
