Faith or Fear

Anxiety is an emotion I’ve lived with for as long as I can remember. A turning point in dealing with it (instead of allowing it to deal with me), was when I realized anxiety was rooted in fear.

After experiencing this breakthrough, I dug a little deeper and found fear was often the root cause of all the negative crap in my life.

A few years ago I wrote a devotional book about fear– “FEAR-PROOF.”

In the book I discuss all of the diverse ways in which the devil causes fear to show up in our lives.

Tomorrow begins the season of Lent and as I’ve done a couple of times in the past, the focus of my EagleLaunch writings will be on the devil’s favorite four letter word-fear.

If you know of someone who may benefit from this Lenten journey please forward my daily thoughts to him or her.

What negative behaviors and feelings in your life are rooted out of fear?

Do you have faith in a higher power?

Turn your fears over to God in faith, and peace will replace your fears…I write from experience.

Here are some great verses to help you conquer your fears:

• Deuteronomy 31:8 “He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” 
• Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
• Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
• Isaiah 43:1 “Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.” 
• Matthew 17:7, “But Jesus came and touched them. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘Don’t be afraid.'”
• 1 John 4:18 “Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear”
• Psalm 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.”
