Be encouraged. Every fear you face has already been overcome! When it comes to fear, God has some pretty specific directions on what you are supposed to do: Fear not! God is serious about helping you become fearless. Some variation of the phrase, "Fear not" appears in the Bible at least 365 times. Fear is a serious issue as it holds you back from fulfilling the incredible calling God has on your life, and fear paralyzes you from enjoying abundant life in Christ.
