Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.— Psalm 23:4 (NIV)

Even people who don’t know much about the Bible often turn to Psalm 23 when they are afraid and need comfort. Fear torments, but there is an answer for it. We don’t have to fear because God is with us. When we know how much God loves us, we will believe that He will take care of us and not let more difficulty come on us than we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Although we may feel fear, we don’t have to let it rule our decisions. Courage is not the absence of fear, it is moving forward in the presence of fear. God has not given us fear (2 Timothy 1:7); He gives us courage. Fear is from the enemy, and he uses it to prevent us from making progress in life.

If you run from fear, it will chase you, but if you confront it, it will back down. Don’t allow the enemy to steal your life through negative emotions such as fear, worry, guilt, or jealousy. The best advice I know to give you is that when one of these emotions shows up (and you never know when that might be), pray and then go ahead and do what you would do if the emotion weren’t there. If you let the emotion control you, you feed it and it gets stronger. But if you don’t let it control you, you starve it and it will become weaker and weaker until it has no power in your life.

Prayer of the Day: Father, I want to replace all fear with faith in You, and I need Your help in order to do that. Teach me in this area how to not allow negative emotions to control me
