Love God Greatly: Fear & AnxietySample

Many of us have gone through times when the grip of fear has seemingly choked out all joy in our lives. Fear causes us to stop doing things we enjoy. It can cause us to neglect important relationships. Fear can have great power over us if we let it control our days. 

To combat the power of fear, we must recognize that God is more powerful than fear. When Job was in the midst of his affliction, the Lord reminded Job of His great power in creation. Even when Job was powerless over his circumstances, God remained in control.

When have you felt powerless over a circumstance in your life? When we face difficulties in life it is easy to feel like Job. Placing our hope and our trust in God’s power and authority gives us strength to fight our fears. 

Father God, thank You for Your power. Forgive me for the times I doubt. Help me see Your power through creation and in my life. Thank You for how You are continuing to work in my life for the good. Amen.
