Freedom from Fear
Courage & Trust
Scripture
1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
Devotion
Love and fear cannot coexist. As you grow in God's love, fear loses its power over you. You are loved completely and unconditionally. This is not theoretical; it is personal. God knows everything about you and loves you anyway. This love casts out fear. Scripture teaches that perfect love drives out fear. Your confidence rests not in your own strength but in God's. When you know you are loved by God, you can face anything.
Today’s Step
What fear holds you back? Take it to God. Remind yourself: I am loved. I am known. I am safe in God's love. Let love cast out the fear.
Prayer
God of perfect love, cast out the fear in my life. Help me to trust You more deeply. Help me to understand that I am loved completely and unconditionally, which means I can face anything. Let courage replace fear. Let love be my foundation.
