One of the most common phrases in scripture used by God and angels when engaging with people was, “Do not be afraid.” God hasn’t changed. He is still saying that to us today, even when we look strong on the outside and are doing all sorts of things overcompensating for the fear within us. A lot of people today have become friends with fear. So many sicknesses are rooted in fear and anxiety. We need to call out fear for what it is and understand that it has negative consequences. Sadly, many people have embraced fear as part of their identity and personality. Therefore, we need to neutralize the power of debilitating fear in our lives. Debilitating fear is fear that stops us from getting things done. The good news is that there is no fear from which the Lord cannot deliver you. The key is that we must seek Him and see Him as our solution.
