Do not be afraid

We are confronted with fear on a weekly basis - some of us even on a daily basis.
fear of the future...
fear of failure...
fear of crime...
fear of our finances running out...
fear that our health will get worse...
fear for our kids...
fear for our parents...
fear of making mistakes...
fear of bugs...

You name it - we are afraid of something. The thing is that often these fears are learnt and not genetic. As Karl Menninger once said: ""Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out."

Of course the Bible speaks on numerous occasions about not being afraid. We can trust everything into the hands of God.

  • Psalm 91:5 - Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.

  • Matthew 28:10 - "Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid."


"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic"- Unknown

 So as you go into this new day ask God to go with you and to help you conqueror the fears in your heart. Remember to trust all the things that concern you into the hands of Jesus.
