2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
Many times, in my life's journey I have gotten stuck. I fear success. I fear failure. I fear people. I fear not pleasing God, or not fulfilling the purpose for which I was placed on this earth. We all face fears. The goal is to face the fear and keep forging ahead. When you change, everything changes. People are not always going to be happy with your changes. Change anyway. You and I will answer to God one day for what we did with our time on this earth. Let's be able to stand before Him and bring a smile to His face. God knows what's it's like down here, that's why He wants to take us up there and then change it all down here. Face the fear. Make the change. It does get easier. It will take courage.
In scripture, courage is also referred to as "good cheer" which means boldness and confidence. Throughout the Bible, God commands us to fear not, to be of good cheer, and to have courage in our life. Sometimes we doubt our own strength and conviction but, we can turn to scripture for the encouragement to live in good cheer and trust in God.

ACTION STEP: Bible verses about courage inspire me to be steadfast in faith and to only fear the Lord. With God's protection and guidance, we should be able to conquer our fears and live a life full of determination. Try looking up all the verses that refer to fear and writing them in a little book that is small enough to carry around with you. Then, when fear comes, pull that little book out and start building yourself up with the power in those verses. The Word of God is a powerful weapon.
Jesus relied on the Word of God alone to overcome obstacles, including the devil. God's Word is alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), useful for correcting us when we are wrong and teaching us what is right (2 Timothy 3:16). So, it makes sense for us to carry God's Word in our hearts through memorization, to be ready to face any problem, every difficulty, and whatsoever challenge that life can send our way.
I believe in you. I need you to believe in yourself! Be brave!
