When you know that what you're doing is in sync with God's will, you can be confident He will provide what you need and fight for you. God told His people, 'When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.' (Deuteronomy 20:1 NIV) Then God added something else: '...Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his brothers will not become disheartened too.' (Deuteronomy 20:8 NIV) God knows that when you allow fear to rule your heart, it's fatal, not only for you, but to those around you. What happens is you become a person of self excuse, who rationales everything so you can just get by in life. This effects not only you, but your family, friends and co-workers and your relationship with God. People who let fear rule them, in effect, the day they succumbed to it, there life changes...We all die in the end, but there's no reason to die in the middle. You don't overcome fear overnight. But gradually, day by day, you can get it under control. '...the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.' (Daniel 11:32 NKJV) The word 'know' means 'to be in relationship with, or to be intimate with.' Want to overcome your fears? Spend time in God's Word. Prioritise your prayer life. Get to know God better. You are loved!
