Isn’t death the worst thing we fear? When someone gets cancer or has a car accident, we fear they will die.
#Bible verse of the day kjv free#
Jesus died to break the power of Satan over us, and by His resurrection, He defeated death, setting us free from slavery to fear of death. Even when Jesus faced death, He turned His thoughts to His Father and prayed. Jesus shared our humanity, yet He never worried because He knew His Father was in control. Hard circumstances may come our way in this world, but God’s children don’t have to fear them beforehand because we can trust our Father will show us His faithfulness in all situations.
Fear can be irrational, yet sometimes bad things actually do happen, which is why we experience fearful thoughts in the first place. Your boss calls you to a meeting, and you envision yourself in an unemployment line. I knew a hundred reasons could cause his delay, but I kept picturing his wrecked blue car on Highway 75.ĭoes it happen to you as well? Your child has a headache, and you wonder about brain tumors. Like the other night when my husband was 10 minutes late, I started imagining He’d had a terrible accident. I claim to trust God, but fear grips my mind at random moments. “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil-and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.” - Hebrews 2:14-15 A Prayer When You Need Freedom from Fear and Worry
