Fear Not, I Am With You

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

I battled fear for most of my life. I thought it was part of my nature, but those beliefs contradict so many scriptures. Our minds are fascinating! We can believe anything we wish, and the chemicals in our bodies align with those beliefs. Why would we meditate on things that make us fearful and anxious? Why would we watch movies that inspire doubt and fear? Why would we listen to music that reinforces depression, pain, and hopelessness?

It Is Written

PSALM 91:4-5 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. ⁵ Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.

My Rainbow Story

One day, as I was driving down a long road, a rainbow appeared in the distance. As I got closer to home, it seemed to be right over me. I had to make a 180-degree turn to head home, and the image of being under the rainbow exploded in my spirit. His promises cover us with His protection. We do not have to fear. His word is the opposite of fear and anxiety, bringing peace and hope. Why not flood our minds with these things? My Under the Rainbow story is in the book Listen for His Whisper at coadwordbooks.com.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for Your Word and for the life and hope it contains. Thank You that You keep Your Word and that those who set out to disprove it only find more evidence that it is true. It is life and health to me. Help us to read it, meditate on it, and believe it.

Takeaway

God’s Word brings life.
