Do Not Be Afraid

 “Do not be afraid, Abram.
   I am your shield,
   your very great reward."

~ Genesis 15:1

“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see

the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.

The Egyptians you see today you will never see again."

~ Exodus 14:13

 "Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.”

~ Deuteronomy 3:22

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me"

~ John 14:1

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,

by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

~ Philippians 4:6-7

God gives His people peace of mind. That's not to say I always dwell in a peaceful state of mind, but it IS there for the taking. I don't need to be troubled, anxious, or afraid. God is taking care of me.
