Faith over Fear
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Faith and fear are two opposing forces, each vying for control of our hearts and minds. Faith, given to us by God, empowers us to trust in His plan and His sovereignty, while fear seeks to paralyze us, causing doubt and hesitation. The scripture reminds us that fear is not from God. It is a deceptive force that tries to undermine the faith He has planted in our hearts. When we walk in faith, even in the face of challenges, we affirm our trust in God’s promises, knowing He is able to sustain us through every trial.
When fear dominates, it is because we are misplacing our faith. Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). Fear is faith in the wrong things—our problems, our circumstances, or even our own inadequacies. But as believers, we are called to place our faith in God, who has never failed and will never abandon His children. Faith overcomes fear when we choose to shift our focus from what we cannot control to the One who holds all things together.
In moments of uncertainty, remember that God has not left you defenseless. He has equipped you with power, love, and a sound mind. These gifts are your spiritual weapons against fear. Lean into His strength and allow your faith to rise above every fear, trusting that God will see you through. He has already given you everything you need to stand firm.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that fear has no place in my life. Help me to walk in the power, love, and sound mind You have given me. Strengthen my faith so that I may trust in You even when fear tries to overwhelm me. Teach me to place my hope in Your promises and to know that You are always faithful. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
