Fear Not: A Devotional
God’s Promises
God’s Word is filled with promises that remind us to trust in Him and not to be afraid. In Isaiah 41:10, God assures us, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Walking in Faith
When we walk in faith, we can have confidence that God is always with us, guiding and protecting us. As it says in Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Overcoming Fear
As believers, we are called to overcome fear with faith. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we are reminded, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
