One of my favorite devotional books is Sarah Young’s, Jesus Calling. Each week I will upload my favorite Jesus Calling of the week. You can learn more about purchasing the book below. Threaded throughout Jesus Calling is God’s message to us to be still and to dwell in his presence.
Bring me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didn’t have. Fear and anxiety still plague you. Feelings per se are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in ME, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith.
Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isn’t there. Anxiety that you hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth or fear of fear: a monstrous stepchild. Bring your anxieties out into the Light of My Presence, where we can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting Me, and fearfulness will gradually lose its foothold within you.
Ephesians 6:16; I John I: 5-7; Isaiah 12:2
