From Fear to Faith
Scripture:
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) – "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Beloved daughters,
Oh, how fear loves to whisper lies into our hearts. It shows up like an uninvited guest, rattling off those “What if” questions. What if I fail? What if I’m not good enough? What if I’m alone? Fear, my dear ones, thrives on the unknown, spinning a web of doubt and worry. But you, my brave girls, are called to something higher—faith.
Faith doesn’t play in the shadows of "What if." Faith steps boldly into the light and declares, “Even if.”
Even if life feels uncertain, God is your anchor.
Even if things don’t go as planned, He has a better one.
Even if the path ahead looks daunting, He is walking it with you.
Isaiah 41:10 reminds us of a beautiful truth: “Fear not, for I am with you.” God isn’t distant. He’s not watching you struggle from afar. No, He’s right there, holding your hand, strengthening you when you feel weak, and upholding you when you feel like you can’t take another step.
Remember Daniel? There he was, surrounded by lions—not in a zoo, mind you, but in a pit meant to be his end. Did he crumble under fear? No. His heart cried out, “Even if I’m thrown to the lions, God is with me.” And what happened? God shut those lions’ mouths.
My loves, the same God who stood with Daniel is with you. The lions in your life—those fears and uncertainties—have no power over you when you place your trust in Him.
Reflection Questions:
What "What if" questions have been circling in your heart lately?
How can you shift your thoughts from "What if" to "Even if"?
Spend a moment today asking God to replace your fears with His peace.
Let’s Pray:
Father,
Thank You for being with me in every moment, every challenge, and every fear. Help me to trust You completely, knowing You will strengthen me, help me, and uphold me. Turn my fears into faith, and remind me that I am never alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Decree & Declare:
I decree and declare that fear has no hold on me. Even if challenges arise, my faith in God will carry me through. I am upheld, strengthened, and guided by His righteous hand.
Do you know what makes me so proud of you? It’s not how perfect you are (though you are delightful), but how brave you are becoming. You’re learning to face life’s "lions" with courage and trust. Keep leaning into Jesus. I can’t wait to hear how you’re choosing faith over fear this week—come tell me about it sometime.
