Let's Punch Fear in the Face!

Are you having fear in your life? With these unprecedented times, fear is high within the hearts of many. Fear can cause us to feel helpless and paralyzed. The good news is that when we are helpless, God is still just as in control as He has always been. God will always be in control! 


It is normal to have fear, but we must not let fear control our lives. If you have fear in your life, we don’t want you to live in fear anymore. Now is the time to free yourself from fear! The best way to do that is to get in the Word of God. 


For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart .” 

Hebrew 4:12 NIV


Meditating on scripture can fill our hearts with truth and push out the fear. Take a moment to allow these Bible scriptures to fill your heart with peace. Read them to yourself, then read them out loud. Put them somewhere you can see them daily so that you can continue to be filled with peace and not fear. By doing this daily, you will be punching fear in the face!
