Fear can easily control us, but God has given us His power to live above our fear.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. - 2 Timothy 1:7

We all have fears; they are a natural part of life. However, if you are not careful, fear can keep you from fulfilling your destiny in Christ.

How many ministry opportunities are missed because of fear? How many times have you know God was leading, but been afraid to share your faith? How many doors were left unopened because you were afraid to step out in faith?

Fear is the opposite of faith, and God has called us to never allow fear to control us. Paul wrote to his son in the faith Timothy to remind him that God did not give him a spirit of fear.
