Overcoming Fear with God's Spirit of Power
We all have fears, fears of failure, injury, death, etc. But is it really healthy? What purpose does it serve, really...Fear serves one—and only one—purpose: to keep you alive. It’s nothing more than a survival response.Here’s what that means. If you’re in the woods and you run across a massive bear with razor-sharp teeth and claws, your fear response should kick in and tell you, “Don’t go pet the bear. You know what? Better yet, RUN!” That fear will help you survive.But other than that, when fear becomes anxiety or worry, it’s a bad thing.God didn’t create us to live our lives in fear. He created us to live with power, love, and a sound mind or courage.So what are you worrying about? Where do you have fear, anxiety, and worry in your life?Know that God gave you a spirit to overcome that. Pray to have a God give you the strength to face your fears today, you got this!“for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”2 Timothy 1:7 Be Nice, Grace Wins

The Devil Hates Your Rest
The feeling of needing rest is usually a starving spiritual need. Rest isn't a luxury, it's a requirement. The devil thrives in our busyness. When we rest well, we become more like Jesus.

Non-Anxious Presence
Non-anxious presence means staying peaceful when everyone else is losing it. Jesus slept through a storm and fed thousands unbothered. That's the peace worth chasing, the kind that comes from Him.

Be Still and Know
Be still and know that I am God. Even the word Selah in this psalm is a call to pause. Stop trying to figure everything out on your own. He is our refuge and our strength.
