Love drives out fear!
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
If we truly love God, why should we be afraid? Love drives out fear and draws us to God. He is our safe refuge, and nothing can overcome Him. Those who love God and follow His ways have nothing to fear.
The only thing that can separate us from God is sin. Sin brings guilt, and guilt leads to punishment. Therefore, the best way to overcome fear is to turn away from sin. Walking with God instills courage in us! When we are in His presence, we feel safe and confident in His power.
Strive to perfect yourself in God's love and feel secure. Drive fear out of your life and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding!
Expelling fear
- Deepen your intimacy with God and seek Him through prayer.
- Tell God what your fears are. Open your heart to God.
- Read the Word of God. It helps us draw closer to God and dispel fear.
Let's Pray:
Lord God, You are mighty, and in You, I find security. Guard my heart. Illuminate my path to experience Your love every day. In Jesus' name, Amen!

How can you tell?
"In the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain."?"Psalm 11:1
When the psalmist puts all his trust in God, he is sure that none of his enemies can get away with anything. David, the author of the psalm, doesn't think he's simply unbeatable, just as we shouldn't think that of ourselves, because every day we bear our own evil. But he is writing about God's justice, for he loves the righteous and hates the wicked.
Even if we suffer a lot in our lives, from terrible people, and we feel hurt, we can rest in God. This is because he is the righteous judge of all reality. His throne is in heaven and from there he sees everything that has ever happened.
If someone has stolen from you, humiliated you, cursed you or harmed you in any way, if they don't repent, God will bring them to judgement. And we face the same judgement, unless we repent of our sins and believe in Christ Jesus.
Practise justice!
- Read the whole of Psalm 11
- Reflect on and think about yourself, woul you describe yourself as righteous or wicked?
- Pray and trust God that He will bring you justice
Pray:
Lord God, my Father, and Jesus Christ my saviour, I ask you to protect me and keep me from all evil. When the wicked threaten me and terrorise my peace, may I be protected under their wings, safe from evil attacks. May I and my enemies repent of our sins, and be eternally at your side, Lord, for in Christ the sins of all mankind have been paid for. In Jesus' name, amen.

When my self decreases, God increases!
"He must become greater; I must become less."
John 3:30
It's normal for human beings to have the desire to succeed. Now, when we are doing God's will, our own desires must take second place. In God's work, the principle thing is his Kingdom. That's why, when we're helping in God's work, our will should be diminished.
Seeking God's Kingdom is not a race for success, but a mission that requires us to give ourselves up. It is precisely when we surrender to God's will that he surprises us and blesses us more and more. When we decrease, God grows in our lives and his presence satisfies us.
Decreasing does not mean that we will succumb; on the contrary, when we let go of our desires, we attract God's eyes and receive his protection.
Put God first
- Dedicate yourself to doing God's will and He will surprise you.
- Remember: our growth is to make the name of Jesus even greater.
- Volunteer in your local church. Help God's work in your area.
Pray:
Lord, I want to do your will. Teach me how to be a good servant, Your Kingdom comes first and Your will makes me happy. Amen!
