Day 8 of 14 · Overcoming Fear

Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.

Then the Peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.

In conclusion, Brothers, wherever you find anything true or honourable, righteous or pure, loveable or praiseworthy, or if ‘virtue’ and ‘honour’ have any meaning, there let your thoughts dwell.

CONTEXT

Original word: αἰτήματα (aítēma) · a thing asked or (abstractly) an asking

God, when I am afraid, I will trust in you. Amen.

QUESTION

What fear would you like to hand to God today?

ONE ACTION TODAY

Tell a trusted friend what you are afraid of.
