His first words to each? <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not be afraid!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The phrase \u201cdo not fear\u201d (or similar words like \u201cfear not\u201d or \u201cdo not be afraid\u201d) appears in the Bible hundreds of times. According to some counts, there are 365 references, enough \u201cfear nots\u201d for each day of the year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is that little phrase repeated so often? Most likely because the folks in Bible times had to learn and re-learn that command just as often as we do now!<\/span><\/p><p><strong>We can find peace, even in the midst of a storm. Consider these five important truths.<\/strong><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #15b577;\"><b>God knows you personally.<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut now, this is what the Lord says\u2014he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: \u201cDo not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah+43%3A1&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaiah 43:1<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put your name, or your kids\u2019 names, into that verse where it says \u201cJacob\u201d and \u201cIsrael.\u201d Now read it again. God knows you on an intimate level. He cares about you\u2014and your kids\u2014more than you can possibly imagine. When you face difficult times, you can rest in the knowledge that you are known, you are redeemed. You are His.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #15b577;\"><b>God is right here in the thick of it with us.<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBe strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Joshua+1%3A9&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua 1:9<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can move forward with courage, knowing that God is at work. Jesus conquered death and fear a long time ago. He is Emmanuel, God with us. Right now, right here.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #15b577;\"><b>Prayer unlocks the chains of fear.<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI prayed to the Lord and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+34%3A4&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psalm 34:4<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the threat of sickness or impending disaster hangs over our head and there are decisions to be made for which there are no ready answers, fear is the default. But when we take those fears to Jesus, He promises freedom. Rest in the knowledge that He is in control and will help you make the big decisions. We don\u2019t want to face difficulties. But if and when the storm comes (and it will), Jesus is right there with you.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #15b577;\"><b>Focus your heart.<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Timothy+1%3A7&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 Timothy 1:7<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Jesus-followers, we can rely on the Holy Spirit\u2019s power to help us overcome the spirit of fear. Remember\u2026the same power that rose Jesus from the dead, lives in us! (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+8%3A11&amp;version=NLT\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romans 8:11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Bible translations use \u201cself-control\u201d in place of \u201ca sound mind.\u201d Do you have self-control when it comes to following the news and social media, even if you\u2019re not sure about the truth behind the claims? Is it easy to criticize the latest developments or blame certain groups for what they\u2019re doing or not doing? Finding ways to express our love and care for others goes a long way in overcoming fear as we focus our heart on the truth.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #15b577;\"><b>Be kind.<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Proverbs+12%3A25&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proverbs 12:25<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fear is a demanding master and everyone deals with it differently. If you see others struggling, take a moment to encourage them, in person or with a phone call, email or text. If conversations tend toward the negative, make an effort to bring something positive into the discussion. As the storm rages around us; practice kindness, patience and joy. Share the good news!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we move forward with care, we put fear back where it belongs and face the future with confidence. It doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be hard decisions to make or that we will always know what to do, but we can rest in Jesus\u2019 promise:<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cPeace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.\u201d (<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+14%3A27&amp;version=NLT\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John 14:27<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seems like the little white dove has the right idea, after
