When we find ourselves deep in the muck of fear, everything seems to close in all around us. Darkness prevails. How can we escape? What can we do?
The first thing to do is to remember Scriptures like 2 Timothy 1:7 or Deut 31:8.
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The second thing is to pray that Scripture and to apply it to our lives. Thank the Lord for His presence in your life.
Then we must allow the Holy Spirit to fill our thoughts and to sustain us. For God wants to eradicate fear from our lives but we have to allow Him to do it.
Lord, we don't mean to be afraid but sometimes it just sneaks up on us. Help us to remember that we are important to you and that you want us to have your power, your love, and your calm thinking. Help us to yield to your control over our lives and over our fears.
