Create A No-Fear File!
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be
afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the
One
who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake
you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
Did you hear about the little boy with two lines in a play?
He was supposed to say, “It is I. Be not afraid.” But when
he got on stage, he blurted out, “It’s me. And I’m scared!”
God doesn’t want us to go through life scared. He gives us
tools for living confidently in the world. He gives His Word.
The Bible is filled with verses designed to assist us in
combating personal fear and worry.
If your mind is anxious and fearful, try something like this.
Grab a stack of 3” x 5” cards and search God’s Word for
verses of assurance. And create your own Anti-Fear File.
Write down the words of Scripture that speak most to you.
Keep them close. Read them aloud. Choose a fresh verse
daily and keep it where you can see it. Begin memorizing
the verses one by one, and share them with others.
Oh, yes—you might include this one:
“But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
‘Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid’”
Matthew 14: 27
"If fear dominates your life, ultimately it
destroys everything God wants to do
for you."
David Jeremiah
