Live by Faith Amid Your Fear
Do you ever wonder what your life would look like if fear had no place in your life? For example, what if you had the confidence to pursue every passion God gave you? Just take a moment to imagine what that would look like. God gives us a special gift called faith so we can do amazing things for Him. And I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and exercise that gift full time.
Faith gives us so much potential because it motivates us to move forward in the plans our Lord has for us. But fear is a feeling Satan uses to keep our focus inward. It makes us feel anxious, causes us to dread the future, and it can prevent us from saying and doing things that would reveal more of God’s love to the world.

We need to learn to block fear at its onset—before it begins to settle in our spirit. The choice is to either let Satan stop us in our tracks or to go forward in faith, knowing by faith that God is in control.
The good news is, when we’re struggling with fear, we can turn to God’s Word for the truth and inspiration we need. Romans 8:31b (AMPC) says, “If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]” And Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
These Scriptures are telling us that if we believe God’s Word, we’ve already won the battle we’re facing.
Jesus tells us in Mark 11:22 that we are to have faith in God constantly. God doesn’t want you to be fearful at any time. He wants you to be bold, confident, courageous and filled with faith every day of your life—not just until a problem arises or until someone mistreats you. There’s no until. And no one can stop God from answering a prayer that aligns with His Word and His will for our life.
