What causes fear to rise up within you? I have dealt with
panic attacks off and on since I was fourteen years old, shortly after my dad
died. They arise, sometimes in the middle of the night, and at other times in
the middle of the day. They overwhelm and frighten me with irrational thoughts and
visions of dying.
What causes fear to
rise up within you? When you feel displeasure from another? Fear from a news
event or a diagnosis? The world is full of fear, as we yearn for peace.
The only true peace
is the peace within our souls. It returns to us again and again as He fills us
with His peace through difficult times and times of overwhelming fear.
Be
anxious for nothings, but in everything by prayer and petitions with
thanksgiving, make your needs known to God, and the peace of God which passes
all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
I passed along the
anxiety gene to our oldest daughter. This is our go-to verse to remind us of
what we have and the One to whom we go. We can unload it all to Him and He will
bring us back to peace. The devil roans around waiting to pounce. He knows the
weaknesses in our minds and hearts. Don’t allow him control. Be anxious for
nothing. Trust in God. Trust in Jesus.
The thief
does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that
they may have life and may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
The abundant life
away from fear awaits. Thank Him in advance for removing your fear.
Jesus,
We need You and we yearn for Your peace. When we are out of
sorts, bring us back to You. You take our burdens and bring balance and peace.
We look to you.
Amen
