"When Fear Knocks At The Door, Let Faith Answer…"
Matthew 26:41-43
The Passion Translation
41 Keep alert and pray that you’ll be spared from this time of testing. Your spirit is eager enough, but your humanity is weak.”
Fear is Satan’s way of trying to prevent us from going forward so we cannot enjoy the life Jesus died to give us. And fear attacks everyone at some time. But fears are not realities. Fears are False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is a force that can weaken our lives if we give in to it, but God desires to strengthen us as we fellowship with Him in prayer.
Faith is released through prayer, which makes tremendous power available for our lives. The Bible teaches us to “watch and pray.” With God’s help, we can watch ourselves and the circumstances around us and be alert to the attacks the enemy launches against our minds and emotions. When these attacks are detected, we can go to God immediately in prayer. He is our strong tower, and when we are in Him there is nothing to fear.
The best way to resist the devil is to pray. Our honest, sincere prayers draw us closer to God. And the closer we are to God, the easier it is to dismiss fear. Pray about everything and fear nothing.
When fear knocks at the door, let faith answer.
