A wise teacher once told me, “Faith and fear take the same energy, each involves believing that what you can’t see will come to pass.” Don’t give fear any energy!

I grew up in this physical world amidst a sea of fear and dread.  Phrases like, “lf it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all” or “There’s no rest for the weary” or “Why do the good die young?”  were drilled into my psyche for years by relatives who’d seen the desperate yearnings of their hearts broken again and again.  Never physically seeing the truth of God’s victory in the “hidden” world of the spirit.  This is how a lot of “generational” curses work down through our families.

Fear and dread of the future never worked out for my good and developed into habitual worry.  Or maybe there was an assignment of a spirit of dread from the enemy involved.  But, thank God He sent Jesus to overcome fear and dread, replacing them with faith, hope and love. And revealed Himself to me in the glorious Gospel.

Lord Jesus help us today to live in your victory over fear.  Bring to our remembrance the absolute reign you enforced over all opposition. Ushering in our entrance into your kingdom of peace.   Where we can and should rest in the assurance that is expressed in this ancient affirmation of a life without fear but rather filled with faith.

“All is well and all shall be well” 

Let’s place the energy of our hearts in the message of faith in that simple statement which places our complete trust in our heavenly Father.
