OVERCOMING FEAR

  Elements of Fear

 

 Elements of fear are anxiety, doubt, restlessness, anger, depression and fatigue. When God is with us fear is non existent. Gideon was afraid and God gave him a sign. The sign was a dream that he would be victorious in battle. He believed God was with him and he got supernatural confidence.

I was reading Zephaniah with my sister and it was so encouraging. It was reminding us not to be afraid. Our future is in God's hands. Trust in Him.

Zephaniah 3:15 " .........The Lord, the King of Israel is with you never again will you fear any harm. ............He will quiet you with his love."

Jesus Calms the Storm (Mark 4:35-41)

 

Another story that comes to mind is when Jesus calms the storm. The disciples were afraid when the storm came and Jesus said, "Quiet! Be still!” The storm is symbolic of fear. When fear attempts to take our space the Lord says, "Quiet! Be still!” and there is sudden calmness. 

"Then the wind died down and it was completely calm." This line illustrates how the Lord brings complete calmness. The storm (fear) was no more and there was sudden peace.

Look to God to overcome fear completely. We can find rest in Him.
