Fear Not! By God’s grace, all who are in Christ by faith alone have been given three gifts by God, the Holy Spirit: Strength to overcome sin and our enemies; love to overcome our fears and show kindness to those who have not been kind toward us; and sanity to think clearly in times trouble, distress and adversity. Pray for the courage to use these gifts from God and not your own strength, self-righteousness and understanding, which are driven by fear.
