In conclusion, I would like to share with you this simple acrostic for you to remember when experiencing fear in your life:
F – Focus on Christ, not your fears
Remember to keep your eyes focused on Christ. When
you focus on the problem instead of Christ, it will be bigger than you can
handle. When Peter took his eyes off Christ, he started to sink. He began
focusing on the storm instead of on Christ.
E –Exercise your God-given power
Remember that we have power over our fears through Jesus Christ. "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power..."
A –Arm yourself with the Word of God
Memorize and meditate on God’s
Word so that when worry, fear and doubt creeps in; you are armed with the Word
of God. Just as a soldier would not go into battle unarmed, we should not go
into battle without being armed with the Word of God.
R –Rest in the Arms of Christ
Find peace and security by resting in the arms of Jesus. Deuteronomy 33:27, “The eternal
God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust
out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

Hey, Julia, thanks for posting about fear; It was very encouraging to me and just what I needed to read. There are many things going on in my life that are causing me to fear and I need to be reminded over and over to trust in God and not to fear. Thank you very much, my dear sister in Christ.
Thank you for such a great truth. I just discovered your blog via KJV blog directory and am glad I found it! Thank you!
