Just For Today Unafraid

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Facing today without fear – that’s a tall order.  It is clear from a brief look at slogans and acronyms from AA and NA that FEAR dwells in the minds of many.  Here are some examples:  FEAR = Failure Expected And Received.  FEAR = Forget Everything And Run.  FEAR = Frantic Effort to Appear Real.

On our own it is impossible but what we’ve come to know is, when we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, we are no longer alone.  God promises to be with us and show us a way forward even when we don’t see a way.  All we need to do is seek His will for us and follow His chosen path. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.  Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)

There are a couple of positive acronyms for fear that may help us on our journey.  FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real.  FEAR = Face Everything And Recover.  When fear tells us we can’t get ahead and be successful, it’s important to remember that this is untrue.  

We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives.  We are no longer slaves to sin.  (Romans 6:6 NLT)

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, Thank you that my sin is nailed to Your cross.  Today I turn my will and life over to Your care.  Fill me to overflowing with the power of Your Holy Spirit, so fear loses its power in my life.  I will live unafraid today knowing I am Your beloved child.  Amen
