Feed your faith, stop the fear

Feed your faith, stop the fear

2 Timothy 1:7 God didn’t give us a spirit that makes us weak and fearful. He gave us a spirit that gives us power and love. It helps us control ourselves. 

Fear sneaks into the mind like a thief before you can say 1, 2, 3. When that happens, drop what you are doing or thinking and get into the word! This is a great reason to know Scriptures that ease your heart and mind.  

Think about it: God gave us a powerful and loving mind! Why would you feed it with fear? 

Instead, challenge yourself to confront what's making you crazy. Is it relationships? Try loving instead of trying to be right all the time. We can love those who are the hardest to love in all areas of our lives. It takes discipline, humility and the desire to obey God, but we can do it.

Whatever your fear, confront it so it loses the ability to take over your mind. Understand your impulses and natural sin points. 

Be careful what you think, be vigilant and selective with what you watch and read. 

Be careful with the people of your inner circle. 

Take your fears to God, don't feed them yourself!
