“Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.” Psalm 64:1 (NKJV)
What you focus on, you empower. Are you thinking about everything that could go right or are you thinking about everything that can go wrong? Consider the fact that after dying on the cross Jesus stripped the enemy of all authority and all power. He no longer has any right or authority to hurt or rob us unless we give it to him by choosing to walk in fear and sin rather than faith, and expecting bad things to happen.
It really is true to say that “we have nothing to fear except for fear itself.” We are those who have been redeemed from the curse and our Father’s plans for us are for good and not for evil. That’s not to say that life’s challenges don’t happen, but we don’t need to add sorrow to our own lives by believing for and fearing the worst. As a man thinks so he is, and what we look at is what we become. Believe the best, expect the best, focus on the goodness of God. God is love, and perfect love casts out fear.
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phlippeans 4:8, 6-7 (NKJV)
