Fear, frequently encapsulated by the acronym 'False Evidence Appearing Real,' distorts our perception of reality. Isaiah 41:10 (NCV) offers reassurance: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This verse invites us to trust God's presence and power, pushing past the unfounded fears that often limit our potential.
Statistics suggest that 95% of what we worry about never happens. This encourages us to critically evaluate our fears and distinguish between genuine concerns and unfounded anxieties.
Breaking away from the shackles of baseless fear opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities. Life begins where fear ends, in faith and trust, where we are no longer held back by the shadows of what might never happen, pursuing our God-given purpose with courage, persistence and conviction.
