FEAR AND ANXIETY

WITNESS 7-30-13 FEAR AND ANXIETY Do you have Some fear and anxiety In your life Who doesn’t Fear of illness Fear of Not being able to take care of your family Fear of broken relationships In your family and with your friends There is Only one way to overcome any fear And that is THROUGH faith in God “The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not be in want” Psalm 23:1 Fear can be good Fear can be a motivating force To do GOOD “The Lord Loves righteousness and justice The earth is full Of his unfailing love” Psalm 33:5 Have you ever Been around a child Who has an unreasonable fear And there is nothing you can do To calm him or her down That happens to us as adults too When fear becomes irrational When things we dream up in our mind Never really happens We can only find our peace In God “When I am afraid I will trust in you In God-whose words I praise In God I trust-I will not be afraid What can mortal man Do to me?” Psalm 56:3-4 And if what we are fearing happens We should still be trusting God For God is OUR HOPE AND OUR SALVATION “DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED Trust in God Trust also in me” John 14:1 Perfect love Drives out our fear Perfect love OVERCOMES our weakness “My grace is sufficient for you For my power Is made perfect In weakness” 2 Corinthians 12:9 So our imperfections Our weaknesses Our failings Brings God’s gift of love And his gift of grace To overcome Anything and everything we are facing “EVERY good and perfect gift Is from above Coming down From the Father of the heavenly lights Who does not change Like shifting shadows” James 1:17 Dear Lord-we pray That our anxieties and fears LEAD US TO YOU The one who saves The one who protects And the one who SHINES the light IN ANY darkness Lord I-WE-give you our fears Robert P.
