…to Remind Us God is in Charge.
Fear, anxiety coupled with worry, and a poor self-image are some weapons the enemy uses against us. They control our decisions and overwhelm us with a dark cloud of negativity.
With so many “crazy” things- disease, death, unemployment, economic uncertainty, crime, violence, natural disasters, persecution, wars, the list is endless… happening around us today, there is so much that we can easily worry about.
I struggled with fear and worry for many years. But over time, I have come to realize that many of the things I worried about and had anxiety over never happens.
My victory over fear did not happen suddenly, I gained it going through a process, over days, months, and years, of reading the word of truth- God’s truth about me, chewing on it through meditation and praying and confessing the word. The power in God’s word brings me victory over the enemy’s weapons.
Here some of the bible verses that have brought me success over fear and anxiety:
