Find Courage in His Presence
π₯ Find Courage in His Presence πͺ
What do you do when fear creeps in?
πΆ Do you ignore it, pretending it doesn’t exist?
πβοΈ Do you play it safe, avoiding anything that might make you feel afraid?
βΈοΈ Do you freeze, paralyzed by the weight of uncertainty?
π Or have you learned to stand firm, press through, and move ahead despite fear?
Many people hide their fear behind rationalizations. Instead of admitting they’re afraid to ride the roller coaster, π’ speak in public π€, or confront a difficult person π‘, they convince themselves they simply don’t want to. This way of thinking often leads to a smaller, more limited life.
Others have felt fear so often that they’ll do anything to avoid it. And some become completely stuck, unable to move forward at all. We’ve all been there at some point.
π So how do we break free from fear?
Fear thrives in uncertainty, in the endless "what ifs" that paint negative possibilities. It is an emotional playground π for the enemy, designed to keep us stuck.
But God’s presence is in the here and now. β¨ He is not in your anxious future—He is with you in this moment.
When fear rises, don’t get lost in imagined worst-case scenarios. Instead, fix your focus on God’s presence and His purpose for you. He knows His plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and if He is calling you forward, you have everything you need to move ahead. πΆβοΈβ‘οΈ
π¦ True Courage Is Rooted in Him
Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the willingness to move forward despite it. πͺ It’s a firm, steady mind that faces opposition and challenge with trust in God. π
On our own, that can feel overwhelming. π° But in Christ, every challenge—no matter how difficult—can be turned for our good. (Romans 8:28) πβ¨
So let’s make a decision: We will not let fear stop us. π« Instead, we will stand firm, move ahead, and press through every obstacle that tries to hold us back.
This is the life God has for us. π±π₯
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be πͺ courageous πͺ ; be strong. Do everything in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14)
With you,
