Romans 8:15 (NKJV) 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Fear is something that many people wrestle with on various levels.
There are many different types of fear. And people can be fearful for many different reasons.
In the end, it really doesn’t matter what it is that we’re afraid of. What really matters is that we face our fears and let God help us conquer them.
We can’t usually beat them on our own. We need God’s help. And He helps us in so many different ways.
Sometimes He simply shows us that our fears are unfounded and are based solely on something we have imagined in our minds.
Other times, He shows us why we’re fearful. And then He teaches us why we don’t need to be afraid.
Still, other times, he will put us face to face with whatever it is that we’re afraid of. And then He will walk us through the difficult process of not only staring that fear in the face, but pushing it back and defeating it once and for all.
Just as each of us is different and unique, so God will also help each of us face and defeat our fears in a way that He knows will truly help us win whatever battle we are fighting with fear.
Why does He do this? Because He has adopted us as His own children. And as our heavenly Father, He wants us to live our lives confident in Him, not running from everything that we come up against.
