Fear is not faith

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. (John 14:1)

 The two greatest sources of fear and worry are the past and the future—remorse over the past or fear of the future—and God’s Word forbids us to worry about either. If you’re in the Lord, then you’re His child, and you don’t have anything to worry about.
 Worry is a sign of fear, and fear is not faith. “Fear hath torment,” and lack of faith can be a terrible, frightening thing. But faith in God, trust in God, gives you a feeling of rest of body, peace of mind, contentment of heart, and spiritual well-being. It’s faith that keeps you from worry. It’s faith that keeps out fear. The beginning of faith is the end of worry! If you’re trusting the Lord, you know He’s going to take care of you and you don’t have to worry.
 “God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” So to the only wise God our Savior, commit your way, your life, your mind, your thoughts, your time! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.” His shoulders are broad enough to carry any load! —David Brandt Berg [1]

 Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart—so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. —Andrew Murray (1828–1917)
