Four reasons we should not fear


God will provide

 We should be confident in God’s provision. He has promised to supply all our needs - emotionally, spiritually and physically. We should find contentment in His provision. Contentment is not getting what we want but contentment is wanting what we already have. 1 Tim 6:6-8 says “Yet true religion with contentment is greatest wealth. After all we didn’t bring anything with us when we came into this world and we certainly can carry anything with us when we anyway. So why should we fear when we know that God is more than capable to meet our needs or the needs of those we love. The deepest needs of our heart can only be met by Jesus Christ.

I will not fear for I know all my needs will be met by God.

God is with us

We should be confident of his presence. We don’t know what we are going to face from one day to the next but there is one thing we can be sure of; God will never leave us. SWe will not be afraid because we are not going to face anything alone. So why should we fear when God’s has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us. It means that He will never abandon us and He will not give up on us. Believe in the authority of God’s word. When the devil comes and knocks at the doors of our hearts, we can simply say “Jesus please go answer the door”

I will not fear for I know that I am always in the presence of God.

God never lies

We should be confident of his promises. Remember God promises and who made these promises to us: the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God. So why should we fear when we know God can never lie. He will always do what he says.

I will not fear for I know that God never lies.

God protect us

We should be confident of his protection. God is our shield so we will not be afraid of what mere mortals do to us. Psalm 121:5-8 “The LORD is my keeper; the LORD is my shade on my right hand. The sun shall not strike me by day, nor the moon by night.  The LORD will keep me from all evil; he will keep my life. The LORD will keep my going out and my coming in from this time forth and for evermore. So why should we fear when we can boldly say that the Lord is our protector.

I will not fear for I know that God is my keeper.

When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him When We Feel Forgotten

Image
Have You Ever Felt God Is Far Away? Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t answer—or even like He wasn’t there at all? We all go through seasons where God feels silent. His voice seems quiet, our prayers seem unanswered, and it’s easy to feel forgotten. Recognise your feelings Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and we wonder if God has left us to face it alone. David knew this feeling well. In Psalm 13:1–2, he cries: “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” David doesn’t hide his frustration or doubt. He brings his raw, honest emotions to God. And here’s the beautiful truth: God welcomes our honesty. He’s not offended by our questions or doubts—He desires a real, genuine relationship with us. Shift from Despair to Trust David doesn’t stay in despair. Later in Psalm 13:5–6, he chooses trust over doubt: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing th...

What’s in Your Cup? Learning to Overflow With Thankfulness

Image
Life has a funny way of revealing what’s really inside us. Imagine this: you’re walking back from the office kitchen with a cup of coffee. Someone bumps into you and—splat!—coffee everywhere. You spilled coffee because coffee was in your cup. If it had been tea, tea would have spilled instead. That moment teaches us something powerful: when life bumps us—through challenges, stress, or unexpected situations—whatever is in our hearts tends to spill out. That’s why Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7 to live rooted in Christ: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Being “rooted and built up in Him” means our hearts are filled with Christ’s love and strength. When life bumps us, what spills out isn’t frustration or fear—it’s thankfulness. How do we stay full of thankfulness? So the question becomes: how do we stay full of tha...

God’s Word That Opens Paths Through the Impossible

Image
God’s Word is a gift that renews the mind. At the dead ends of life, in the darkness we never saw coming, His Word steps in like a bright light cutting through every shadow. From the very beginning, God’s voice has always made a way where there seemed to be no way. At the edge of the Red Sea, when the Israelites were trapped between deep waters and a relentless enemy, God spoke — and the sea opened. His voice carved a path through the impossible. “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.” — Psalm 77:19 That is who God is. His Word doesn’t always explain every detail, but it always guides. It doesn’t always prevent the struggle, but it never leaves us to face it alone. Maybe today you’re standing at what looks like a dead end — hoping for a miracle, longing for direction. Don’t lose heart. The Word is still alive, and it still makes a way. Don’t lean on your own understanding. Open the Bible. Inside are promises that do not...
