  YOU ARE NOT AFRAID


"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for
the Lord God is my strength and my song." Isaiah 12:2

The only way that fear can live in you is if it is fed. If you do not
feed your fear, it will go away. Fear can be overcome as you deprive it
of its power by dwelling on the power of God with you, at all times. God
never leaves you and will never forsake you.

If you are in need of help in facing some problem, and every time you
think of it, you become fearful – I strongly suggest that every time a
fear thought pops up in your mind, that you pray to God. God has not
given you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and of love and of sound
mind. God is with you at all times and in all circumstances. God cares
for you, protects you, and will answer when you call. God's power with
you, this moment, is greater than any challenge you will ever face.

Follow Jesus by taking a moment now to become still in prayer. 

Repeat aloud this positive prayerful affirmation of faith:

"My total trust is in God; therefore I will not be afraid. God is with me
right now and God is bigger than this small challenge."

Dwell on the realization of this, in prayer; let its truth sink deep in
your soul. You let the realization of God's presence and power with you
permeate every cell of your being. Fortified by your trust in God, you
know that there is nothing to fear. All doubts are dissolved and you are
filled with confidence. God will save you from fear, over and over again,
when you trust. You will not have to be afraid because you will rely on
the strength of God. The song you sing coming from deep in your soul will
be one of joy and everlasting hope.

You will have new courage by remembering that God is with you, that you
can never be separated from God. You take courage by turning to God in
prayer, by opening your mind and heart to the presence of God. You take
courage and draw courage from your Divine source that created you in the
beginning. You take courage by taking your thought seriously, by speaking
words of faith and truth, by recognizing that God's spirit is with you
RIGHT NOW.

You are not afraid because courage rises up within you to bring you
comfort, peace, and poise. Courage establishes you in calmness and
serenity with which you are meant to face life and life's challenges. It
is good to remember that strength and courage is not something to be added but a quality that is natural to you – that is God-given.

Most of us have worked on a jigsaw puzzle. We know that every tiny piece
is important to the whole. We may have worked on a puzzle where there was much sky and have wondered how we are going to be able to fit all those tiny blue pieces in place. But even if one piece was missing, the picture was not complete.

You are important to God, to the whole of God's world. God needs you to
express God's love and wisdom and to show strength and courage to others facing challenge. Remember - God created you. God knows your potential. 

Trust God by putting to use all that you are and all that you have. Do
not allow fear in some temporal thing outside of you to stop the God-given
gifts within you. Wrapped up in you are God's most precious gifts. Would
you refuse to use them because of human fear? Because you are reading
this Positive Daily Inspiration, I know that you have faith to use God-strength and
God-power.

I know that you will accept and use the precious gifts that God has given
you to overcome fear.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." 
John 14:27 

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I admit to You my fear has trapped and consumed me. But no longer! I am tired of living under the weight of my fears. I am reassured of Your presence and confirm that you are able to deliver me from my trouble. Please grant awareness of me Your love and Your power to replace 
these fears. Your perfect love casts out my fear. I thank You for promising to give me the peace that only You can give. I receive that peace now as I ask You to still my troubled heart. 

Because You are with me, I am not afraid.

Amen.
