Antony preached last Sunday evening on the fact that faith conquers all fear. He spoke about trusting in the Lord who will help us overcome our fears and that fears are only conquered when we step out in faith.
That reminds me of the song ‘The Voice of Truth’ by Casting Crowns, which looks at the story of David and Goliath and Peter walking on water. The voice of fear tells us we will never succeed: “Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed… boy, you’ll never win, you’ll never win.” But the voice of truth, the voice of Jesus singing over us, tells us a different story. Things don’t look the same when we step out in faith:
“But the stone was just the right size to put the giant on the ground
And the waves, they don’t seem so high from on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me”
Prayer helps us to face the challenges ahead. Fears are conquered when we understand that Jesus is there with us to face whatever lies ahead.
