Overcoming Fear with Faith

Overcoming Fear with Faith Reading: Mark 5:36, Isaiah 41:10-13

Mark 5:36-As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Isaiah 41:10-13-Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ 11“Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. 12You shall seek them and not find them— Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. 13For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,

Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Devotional: Jesus told Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe." Fear and faith cannot coexist; one will always overcome the other. What fears are you facing today? How might these fears be hindering your faith? Meditate on God's promises of protection and provision.

Choose to focus on God's power rather than your problems. Ask the Holy Spirit to increase your faith and diminish your fears. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
