Fear not

Fear not, for the LORD thy GOD is with you (Is 41:10). This is always with me. No matter what may befall me, I am reminded that my HEAVENLY FATHER is with me. This is always true regardless the trials in the day that may come, I am encouraged that in the presence of the LORD, there is no need to fear. When I feel caged in or when I cannot explain the rockiness of my thoughts, I am reminded that I should not be afraid. When feelings come in like a flood, fear is not too far away from that. When I am approaching my next chemo, I experience apprehension and fear. I am reminded that I should not fear. When I feel that I am not successful about giving my fear to the LORD, I am reminded that HE is with me and no matter what, there is no fear in the presence of the LORD. No matter what may come our way, we should never allow our feelings to rule. There are many difficult days ahead and many unpleasant things to hear; however, I am told that fear should not prevent me from living the life that the LORD wants me to live. Despite the anticipation of a flashback or a bad nightmare, fear is only as bad as the amount of energy I put into it. I know that my GOD is with me. I am told so. I know that all will be well. HE told me. I have to believe it. "What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom 8:31).

Fearing not. Encouraging on!
