    • If You Are Afraid of People
    • If You Are Afraid of Death
    • If You Are Afraid for the Welfare of a Loved One

    • dealing with fear caused by anxiety and grief
    • needing a gift of encouragement to lift their spirits and recreate joy

      FEAR NOT

      God Is with You

      God is so willing to enter your world.

      The hospital room? He goes there.

      Late-night deadlines? He’ll stay up with you.

      Are you watching the slow death of someone you love? He’ll sit by your side every single minute.

      Just invite him. Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends (Revelation 3:20 NLT).

      COME THIRSTY

      1

      Look! I stand at the door and knock.

      If you hear my voice and open the door,

      I will come in, and we will share a meal

      together as friends.

      REVELATION 3:20 NLT

      Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

      You will revive me;…and Your right hand will save me.

      PSALM 138:7

      Come near to God and he will come near to you.

      JAMES 4:8 NIV

      The LORD spoke his word to Abram in a vision:

      "Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you,

      and I will give you a great reward."

      GENESIS 15:1 NCV

      2

      [Jesus] said to them, "Why are you troubled?

      And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

      Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself."

      LUKE 24:38–39A

      2

      Joseph of Arimathea came,

      a prominent member of the council,

      who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God;

      and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate,

      and asked for the body of Jesus.

      MARK 15:43 NASB

      When fear shapes our lives, safety becomes our god. When safety becomes our god, we worship the risk-free life. Can the safety-lover do anything great? Can the risk-averse accomplish noble deeds? for God? for others? No.

      The fear-filled cannot love deeply. Love is risky.

      They cannot give to the poor. Benevolence has no guarantee of return.

      The fear-filled cannot dream wildly. What if their dreams sputter and fall from the sky?

      The worship of safety emasculates greatness. No wonder Jesus wages such a war against fear.

      FEARLESS

      1

      Am I a God near at hand, says the LORD,

      and not a God afar off?

      JEREMIAH 23:23

      Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!

      PSALM 144:15

      It is God who is at work in you,

      both to will and to work

      for His good pleasure.

      PHILIPPIANS 2:13 NASB

      You can’t live tomorrow today.

      You can’t spend tomorrow’s money, celebrate tomorrow’s achievements, or resolve tomorrow’s riddles. You have only today.

      Live in it. Don’t heavy today with yesterday’s regrets or acidize it with tomorrow’s troubles.

      Fill your day with God. Give the day a chance.

      EVERY DAY DESERVES A CHANCE
