Fervent: Fight Fear With Faith Sample

Sometimes we have to say those words out loud to ourselves. Or better yet, hear someone actually say the words to us – Be of good courage. Or rather Don’t be afraid! We need to hear these words at regular intervals because we tend to forget and give way to our fearful tendencies. Our minds are adept at thinking up worst-case scenarios and all the terrible things that could happen in the future. But God calls us to be strong – mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. All our lives as Christians have been training for such a time as this. So when we face uncertainty and evil, instead of turning weak-kneed and scared, our training should kick in. All that we have believed and heard from God’s Word, our relationship with Him, our faith and perseverance, is being called up to the battle. Now is when we walk the talk. So let us be strong, not just for ourselves and our families, but for all those who are afraid across the world. What we need to remember is that God is with us, that He has held us and brought us thus far, so He won’t abandon us now. And ultimately, He works everything…everything…out for good.

Pray for:

• Courage to rise up in us and strengthen us

• Fear to be stricken out of our hearts and minds

• God’s good and perfect will to be accomplished
