Day 18

There is often a part of us that flees from situations we don’t like. Be it in person, in thoughts, emotionally or relationally. We naturally want to avoid danger, but life is full of it. We have another choice than fleeing.

Focus

“I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.”
—Psalm 34:4

Honestly bringing the full weight and shape of our concerns to God is encouraged again and again in scripture. It feels mystical that he might make us bold. Yet, when we act on faith, reveal the hiding of shameful thoughts, the Lord transforms us, making us bolder and more assured than ever before. Pray, and be freed from anxiety and fear—not the situation.

Journal

Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. Make a commitment to “pray it all” to Him!
