Meredith tells the story of Simon Peter, who found himself overcome by fear when things didn’t go the way he planned. He was gripped by fear of things he didn’t even know he was afraid of. In the same way Peter was afraid, we also can find ourselves gripped by fear of opinions, outcomes, and ourselves.

What situation in your life has caused fear to overcome you? Is it preventing you from moving forward and keeping you from attaining the purpose God has for you?
