FEAR AND DOUBT

2 Timothy 1:7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.

We all have dealt with fear and doubt and have been crippled by this powerful emotion. Fear will push or drive us in the wrong direction; fear will alter our breathing, destroy our health, and keep us from making the right decisions. Fighting our fears and doubts can become overwhelming if we combat this battle alone. We have to rely on God's courage to fight off our doubts and fears. Life problems and stress elevate our fears; this causes us to doubt God's Word and powers. We must rely on God's strength and courage to Shelter us against the influence of the FLESH, which controls our fears and doubts.

Father, we cry out to You, asking for freedom from our fears and doubts. Lord, please do not allow our fears to hold us back from our purpose. Lord, give us Your courage to combat the uncertainty that keeps us in bondage and hinders our blessings. Lord, reminds us often that fear is not to be our path; give us Your strength to stand against our fears and doubts as we walk through this Vally of death. Lord, we understand that fear and doubt are tools the enemy uses to keep us from stepping into Your plans for us. So, we decree and declare that we will stand on Your word, that "You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." In Jesus name, we claim it

 Amen
