like worry it finds its home in the hypothetical and theoretical. Assumptions, imagination, and blind guesses are fear\u2019s ally! In order to eliminate fear,\u00a0we need to bring our minds out of the cloud of speculation and back to the solid ground of truth.<\/p>\n<h4>God Knows You<\/h4>\n<p>God doesn\u2019t just know about you, he knows you! He knows what you do and he knows how you think. Why is this comforting? If God knows everything about you, then he also knows all potential dangers, and nothing can catch him off guard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out\u00a0Psalm 139:1-6<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>God Cares for You<\/h4>\n<p>How much more encouraging and empowering is it to know that the Creator God knows you and cares for you? When fear, discouragement or anxiety strike, this is the foundation we need to come back to. This is what we can know for sure!<\/p>\n<p>Peter puts it so clearly and simply!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.<br \/>\n(1 Peter 5:7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>God Is With You<\/h4>\n<p>Knowing that we are not alone, but that God is with us every step of the way, gives us the courage we need to take a forward step of faith and to dive into the water, even if we can\u2019t see the bottom!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out Psalm 139:7-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>God Is Able to Meet Your Needs<\/h4>\n<p>God\u2019s knowledge and care are comforting, but we need more than that; we need to know God\u2019s ability! All too often, we under-estimate what God can do. Our weak view of God cripples our faith and allows for worry and doubt to creep in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out Philippians 4:19<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>God Is Able to Give You Peace<\/h4>\n<p>Fear stirs up the heart and gives it no rest. You can\u2019t have fear and peace at the same time. In today\u2019s world, peace is sought after by nearly everyone but it is rarely found. Some have even called political peace a time to reload, unfortunately, that statement is more accurate than I\u2019d like to admit!<\/p>\n<p>The peace that God offers us through Jesus is unique. Unlike political peace, it\u2019s not a time to reload! Jesus satisfies our greatest need for peace on the heart level. He allows us to have peace with God.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.<br \/>\n(John 14:27)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Announcement<\/h4>\n<p>My book is now available on Kindle!
