Faith In The Face Of Fear

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”

Isaiah 43:1

Sometimes, when we take a risk in faith, the very thing that frightened us—and almost paralyzed our future—becomes amazing. Perhaps it was reaching out to a new person, performing onstage, or interviewing for a new job. If fears are keeping you from experiencing the extraordinary today, remember that God can work, despite your fear, to make miracles happen—especially when you step out in faith.

As we fix our eyes on Him, we see His love, we taste His power, and it feeds us. It helps us grow stronger—so strong, in fact, that we find every bit of strength we need to soar above and beyond any fear holding us back. When we keep our eyes on Him, He takes us out of the constraints that otherwise bind us in fear.

In this freedom, our world and our lives are enlarged, and the possibilities for the miraculous are increased. We achieve the impossible by focusing on the God with whom all things are possible. We bring healing and hope to the broken and hopeless. We go places we never imagined, because He frees us from fear—for our good, and for the good of others too!

Lord God, thank You for working with me past, through, and despite my fear. Show me where facing fear in Your power will move me forward.
