Overcoming Fear

Scripture

Judges 6:14-16 (NLT) - Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” The LORD said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man.”

Devotion

Gideon felt inadequate, but God equipped him with what he needed for victory. Similarly, God provides for us despite our fears and insecurities.

Reflection

What fears hold you back from fulfilling God’s calling in your life? How can you trust God to turn your weaknesses into strengths?

Prayer

Father, I surrender my fears to You. Use me in my weakness, and help me be bold and courageous. Amen.
