I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

I don’t know about you, but I find this absolutely incredible.

If we ask, God will deliver us from our fears.

God, who created all things, will answer us, providing us freedom from our fears.

What are your fears?

Fear of the uncertain future?

Fear of a certain person and their reactions to you?

Fear of messing up, not being perfect?

Fear of people knowing the real you?

Fear of rejection?

We all were created for love, so not finding acceptance is huge.

Psalm 34 reminds us we must seek God first.

God gives us a choice to seek Him or not.

But when we seek God, He will answer us.

He’s alive, wanting a relationship with us.

That’s why He created you.

Delivering us from all our fears sounds great.

Here’s the thing, though.

When God answers you, delivering you from fear, you have a choice to go back or not.

Satan tempts us with the same fears as he knows us and our weaknesses.

He desperately wants to keep you sucked in with fear.

Paralyzed even.

Every time you are tempted with that fear, you must not open your hands to receive it.

You must cling to God’s promises, rejecting the lies Satan provides through fear.

Call on God and He will answer you, freeing you from ALL your fears.

Keep calling on God to help you and He will.

Whenever you call on Him, He will be there for you.

In fact He’ll never leave. 🙂
