in the midst of our fear and hopelessness , but first we need to trust Him and let Him replace the earthly fear that grips our hearts .
A fearful heart is an immobilized heart , and it is from our hearts that our words and actions flow . So you can see the problem .
Psalm 34:4 says , “ I sought the Lord , and He heard me , and delivered me from all my fears .” That ’ s so powerful ! We can ’ t afford to be restrained by fear . Our world can ’ t afford it .
We need our fear to be replaced by faith because God ’ s work of transformation happens when we are walking in the confidence of His strength , love , and wisdom .
