God says Fear Not, but what role does anxiety and fear play in our lives? Do we have control over our fears, or are our fears controlling us? We all have worries and concerns, such is the world in which we live, but our worries need not turn into fear or depression.
Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time for everything we may go through in this life; "1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance." There is a time to cry when things get tough in our lives, but that is when we need to look up and see Jesus Christ reaching out to give us peace.
"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You." (Psalms 56:3)
Not if I am afraid, but whenever I am afraid. Fear will come, it is not an if but a when. God knows the world we live in, and thru this verse He tells us that He knows that fear will be a part of life, but how we deal with it is a choice we have to make ourselves. God says when you fear, then you shouldn't, just trust in Him.
We will experience times of worry in this life, but when your worries starts to manifest into fear, look up and see the pierced hands of Jesus.
Jesus says in Matthew 11 verse 28 to 30 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Heavy laden is to carry a heavy load, to be overloaded with worry, to be overloaded with fear. Jesus says, when you feel like you cannot go on, you can, as long as you lean on Him.
When we feel anxious, we need to pray. When we are unsure, we need to read the Bible. When we need direction, we need to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. When we worry, we need to have faith. When we worry, we need to persevere. But above all, when we have problems, we need to ask Jesus Christ for help.
This book examines the grip fear and phobias have on us, and how we can find real hope to conquer anything the world can throw at us. The Word of God is the foundation of this book, just as it should form the foundation in our lives.
It doesn't matter the storms we go through, there is hope in the midst of our anxieties and fear, and His Name is Jesus.
