What is Fear
The other day my co-worker shared with me this great acronym for “fear”:

It is good to remind ourselves often of the things we worried about that never happened, of the needs we had that God provided, of the hard times that God brought us through, of the things God worked together for our good, of all the ways that God showed us His love and proved Himself faithful.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His ...
An Invisible Work–Wait on the Lord
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
