NO FEAR

 In the midst of a busy week, I had a few moments to do a little reading. I came upon a story of a woman who'd found out she was unexpectedly pregnant. Her fears of the unknown- if now was the right time, if the child would be healthy due to her age and medical history, how the family would feel - quickly began to overshadow her excitement of the blessing of a new life.
 Having been pregnant a few times and having had my own unknowns to deal with, I could understand where she was coming from. However, in my own situations, I found that praying to the Lord and asking HIM to walk with me through whatever tests and exams I had to experience - not knowing beforehand what the results would show- was the only way to get through. I was not to try to deal with things on  my own but I had to stand on my faith and cast out any thoughts that led to anxiety over the unknown.
 Pslam 34:4(NLT) says, " I prayed to the Lord and HE answered me, HE delivered me from all my fears."
These words of David let me know that God is there for those who love HIM. He'll take away that fear of the unknown when we give our situation to HIM and grant us peace, knowing that in all we face HE is with us.
 God's Word lets us know that he'll keep you in perfect peace, if you keep your mind on HIM. While our flesh wants us to think on the negative, God's spirit on the inside reminds us to think on the victory we have through HIS love.
