A 3-Day Bible Study to Stop Allowing Fear to Ruin Your Life
Share
You don’t need to hold onto your fears anymore. Give them over to Jesus and trust Him to help you heal from this fear. Keep your heart focused on Him rather than the fear. Fears have no part in our lives as Christians because they cause us to doubt God. No longer do we need to allow our hearts to be troubled by fears. The Lord died in order for us to truly live, serve others, and follow Him.
A life of slavery to fear will not accomplish this. Turn to God, give your fears to Him, and start living in confidence. God is with you and He won’t ever leave you. Rely on God's goodness, support, and faithfulness.

We can stop allowing fear to ruin our lives by living in the freedom of Jesus. Galatians 5:1 says, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” As the Apostle Paul tells us, Jesus has set us freed. We do not need to be burdened by the yoke of slavery to fear anymore. Fear does not have to control us any longer nor do we have to allow it to ruin our lives.
Through Jesus, we have true freedom. Live in the freedom of His love today. He will be your refuge, protect you, and keep you safe (Psalm 121:7-8). Fear has no place in our lives because fear is the opposite of faith. Cultivate your relationship with Jesus and grow closer to Him. The more you grow closer to Him, the less likely you will be given to fear. Instead, you will have a trusting bond with the Lord and you will be confident because of Him.
We can face the scary things of life because God is with us (Hebrews 13:5-6). The fear that is gnawing at your bones today can be relieved by turning to Jesus. Truly trust Him with your fears and trust that He will protect you. Jesus will never fail you nor will He abandon you. Fears will continue throughout our lives, but we are not without armor.
Put on the full armor of God when fears come your way and fight back against the attacks of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-18). Satan is often the source of our fear and we don’t need to allow him control over our lives. God is more powerful and stronger than the devil. He will keep us protected from the evil one. Focus on the goodness and strength of God. Never doubt His power.
Fear no longer has to control you. Choose to live in the freedom of the Lord today by trusting Him, talking back to the fear, giving your fears to Him, and ensuring He is the God of your life—not fear.
