Freedom From Anxiety And Fear
Philippians 4:6-7 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (NKJV)
I love to travel with my husband, whether it is by road, ship, or plane, but for some unknown reason, for the last two years of my mother's life, I developed a fear of flying. The thought of going to the airport and getting on a plane filled me with fear and dread. I couldn't understand it — I was an avid traveller. What was worse was that I couldn't travel to be with my mother, who lived 2,370 kilometres (about 1,470 miles) away in Hollywood, Florida, USA. I saw her often on FaceTime whenever my sister or her faithful friends helped her, but it was too far to travel by car, so flying it had to be. Not being able to get up and go was creating even more anxiety in my life, and I knew that I had to stop these fears from taking over for good. I also knew that fear has no place in the life of a Christian, but I just couldn't shake it off — it was overwhelming.
After wrestling with my deep fears on my own, I took them to my heavenly Father, Who was waiting to act. I asked God to help me and to fill me with His strength so that I could get on a plane to go and see Mom — fearlessly. He did! When I woke up the next morning, I felt renewed and fearless and ready to book my flight — but I received a call from my sister that Mom had passed that morning. I booked my flight and went to her — late, but I went. But why did it take me so long to ask God when I knew better?
2 Timothy 1:7 – For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)
1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (NKJV)
Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (NKJV)
God is the answer to all our anxieties and fears. Letting go and letting God is the only way to freedom from anxiety and fear in our daily lives.
How are you feeling today? Have you been experiencing any anxiety or fear recently? Then let us pray:
Prayer: Almighty God, only You can free us from the burden of our anxiety and fear. Release us from them and grant us the grace and mercy to walk freely from these thorns in our flesh. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen!
