Put It Away

Simple words but difficult to live by.  Jesus tells us in Mark 5:36, "Don't be afraid; just believe." NIV

How do we do it?  We need to realize where fear comes.  It's not from the Lord.  It's from the enemy who wants to steal, kill, and destroy us.  We need to be honest about how we are feeling before the Lord.

Satan doesn't want us to believe in the One who has great and wonderful plans for our lives.  If he can trap us into believing the Lord doesn't truly care about us,  then we can stay in fear and not live in faith and belief.

Father, help us to put away all fear.  May we cast it on You and believe what You say about us.  Our life has value and worth, and You have a plan for us.  Thank You.  Amen.
