The sad truth is that fear creeps unexpectedly. Especially when we are experiencing very tough and challenging times in our lives. But, if we are being honest, we know that fear is very counter productive as it makes us lose focus on what is really important which is our faith in Jesus Christ regardless of the circumstances.
Thankfully, there are many scriptures in the Bible that can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation to help you overcome fear. The more we read these Words of Life we can regain strength and become equipped to go face our challenges knowing that the Lord is with us.
