No Fear

by Joyce Meyer - posted October 22, 2011

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
—2 Timothy 1:7

In this passage of Scripture, Paul was encouraging Timothy and saying, "You may feel like giving up, but you have everything you need to succeed. The Holy Spirit gives you peace and the power to face anything. Press on without fear!"

You may not understand what is going on in the world around you, but you must trust God through it all. You can pray and ask God for answers, but when heaven is silent you need to keep doing what God has told us to do and just trust Him. God will make all the pieces work together for His purpose, even when you don't see tomorrow clearly. Tomorrow's answers usually don't come until tomorrow.
