These words of exhortation from Jesus are just as relevant and meaningful now as they no doubt were in New Testament times:
Funny (ironic) how I must remind myself to choose faith and not fear. Left unattended, fear creeps up uninvited and lingers awhile, and then gets comfortable. Mine is a lifelong battle with fear, but I am making progress by God’s grace. Also, I’ve learned from personal experience that the only weapon I can use to counteract fear is faith in God and His promises – any other made-made approach will eventually fail.
Today I choose fath. What about you?
It is the best choice. I was riddled with fear all my life, and only faith in God keeps me out of that deep, dark pit of despair. Does it creep up yes, but a good ole, get thee behind me, Jesus I need you, and praising God will run it off every time :):)

That is the truth! I had my praise music on last night and you’re right – it got rid of the fear. 😀
How are you feeling this week?

Praise God!! And whether you have that praise music handy, you have your voice, outer voice, and inner voice, that you can always sing to Him! Even if it’s just, “I love you Lord”, “Thank you God” over and over until that fear is GONE! By your faith you are healed, and that includes fear :):):) Today is a good day, and I am thankful :):)

Amen, my friend! I should put the praise music on more often than I do, admittedly. It definitely raises my spirits and brings peace to my mind! 😂
