All in all,
Each scripture reminds us that we are not to fear, be anxious, or worry. The only type of fear is the fear of the Lord, which is more synonymous with love and respect for our God. If you are someone who has struggled with any of these confidence killers, I want you to download the printable and place it on a wall that you see the most as a reminder of the many reminders to no longer fear, feel anxious, or worry.
I used to go around saying that was how I was wired. In truth, this had become our wiring when we entered into sin and this world. Living a life of fear, anxiety, and worry was never the plan. So let’s partner with the Holy Spirit to combat these feelings, emotions, and states with each new day.
Read each verse in different versions of the bible to get a true understanding. My favorite bible right now is the NIV Large Print Value Bible. It has a cute cover, lays completely flat, and allows for the scripture to pop out at me.
