94. How to Stop Living in Fear

Published: Sept. 15, 2020, 10:44 a.m.

Every day, in every hard situation, we can choose faith or we can choose fear. \xa0 We can choose to focus on the what if\u2019s, worry about what might happen, and fret over the worst case scenarios. \xa0 Or, we can remind ourselves of how God has been faithful in the past and trust that He is going to continue to be faithful and good in the present and future \u2014 even in dark, difficult, or even downright impossible situations. \xa0 Our circumstances do not change God\u2019s character. \xa0 I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going through today or what giants you might be facing, but I do know this: our God is greater than any giant, stronger than any Goliath, and He is able to deliver and help you. \xa0 Let\u2019s believe that God is bigger and mightier. Let\u2019s take God at His Word. \xa0 He will never, ever, ever leave or forsake us. He is FOR us. And He is still in the miracle-working business. \xa0 Let\u2019s talk faith, not fear. \xa0 If you need some encouragement to stop living in fear, this week on the podcast, Jesse and I talk about faith versus fear and what has helped us to stop living in a state of stress and fear.
