For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, and love, and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
Dear Lord,
So often fear stops us in our tracks. Remind us that your Holy Spirit lives within us. This truth enables us to have power greater than our own, love that pushes us forward, and discipline to do your will to completion. Please Lord, help us to hear your call and obey your voice today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
