Spiritual Vitamin: "Love will never invoke fear. Perfect love expels fear, particularly the fear of punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been completed through love. We love because He has first loved us." (1 John 4:18-19, The Voice)
Challenge: What do you fear today? Did you know that perfect love takes away fear? How do you discern when there is a God-given fear protecting us or a lie taking root in our heart to keep us living in fear and anxiety? God's love is perfect. With this perfect love, we do not need to fear. Allow that to take root in your heart today.
Prayer: Dear Father, Thank you so much for your perfect love that casts out fear. Forgive me for being afraid. I give you each of my fears today. Help me name them, even if I'm not even aware of them. Free me from the anxieties that grip my heart. Free me from fears that come out of lies. Let not fear stand in the way of me loving You, my neighbor and my self well. Thank you, Father. Amen.
