LET GO OF FEAR AND LET GOD BRING YOU NEARER TO HIS LOVE.

I was going to find out soon whether I would be considered for the second round of interviews for the summer internship. I felt really good about my first interview but was starting to doubt it as the days approached the final deadline. My heart sank as my friend called me and said she did get a call back for the second interview. I feared that if I did not get this internship, I would not get another job opportunity, as the ones in my field of study were hard to land. Instead of praying about my concerns, I worried and lost many nights of rest. As I tossed and turned, fear kept me awake, and I thought I was not good enough. Restless thoughts made me decide to quit trying because it was so hard and competitive.

Do you have days when fear sets in and makes you question your worth or well-being? A spirit of fear will steal your joy when you let it. Instead, grab hold of Jesus and let His power, love, and self-control touch your life. He does not want you to quit trying, He just wants you to trust Him in all times, the good and the bad. His love will overcome all your fear for years and years!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, I will find my rest and refuge in your arms. This world and its pressures and stress will not get me down or make me afraid because I know that everyone who has been born of you overcomes the world. You want me to trust you completely to see all that you have for me. I will trust you more, Lord, and not let the spirit of fear inside me! In Jesus’ name, Amen

PRAISE

Thank God that He has removed all of your fear and given you a spirit of power, love, and self-control!

PROMISE

“God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7
