When the world pauses me by fear and fret,

the Word causes me to draw near and not forget...

🧡In Christ, I am perfectly loved, and Perfect Love casts out fear. (1 John 4:18)

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” ~ 1 John‬ ‭4:18‬‬‬

🧡In Christ, I do not have to be anxious about anything. (Philippians 4:6)

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians‬ ‭4:4-7‬‬‬

🧡In Christ, I can confidently call out to God. (Psalm 145:18, Hebrews 4:16)

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” ~ Psalm 145:18

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” ~ Hebrews 4:16

🧡In Christ, I am strong and courageous and never alone. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” ~ Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:6‬
