Episode 24- Shownotes
Introduction:
Welcome to today’s episode of The Presence of God! I'm your host, Niccie, and today we’re going to tackle a powerful topic—Overcoming Fear. Fear and anxiety can grip our hearts, steal our peace, and keep us from fully walking in God’s purpose for our lives. But here’s the truth: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind!
THE PROBLEM:
Take a moment to reflect—do any of these resonate with you?
Feeling paralyzed by fear or anxiety in certain areas of your life?
Struggling with uncertainty about the future?
Wanting to trust God more but feeling overwhelmed by worry?
If you can relate, know this: You are not alone, and fear is not from God! Today, we’re going to lean into His promises and discover how to walk in faith instead of fear.
THE WORD:
Let’s hear what the Word has to say about overcoming fear and anxiety:
2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV): "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline."
Fear is not from God—He gives us power, love, and self-discipline instead.
Isaiah 41:10 (NIV): "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
God is always with us, giving us strength and support.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Prayer brings supernatural peace that surpasses understanding.
1 John 4:18 (NIV): "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
God’s perfect love casts out all fear!
Psalm 34:4 (NIV): "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears."
Seeking God leads to deliverance from fear.
THE GIFT:
Trusting in God’s love and power brings:
Peace: No more restless nights—God’s peace will guard your heart.
Courage: You can step out in faith, knowing God goes before you.
Freedom: Fear no longer has a hold on you—you are free to live boldly in Christ.
Deeper Trust in God: As you lean on Him, your faith will grow stronger.
THE CHOICE:
We have free will and must choose daily to trust God instead of fear.
Will you surrender your worries to Him?
Will you replace fear-filled thoughts with God’s truth?
Will you step out in faith, believing that He is in control?
Personal Reflection:
What fears have been holding you back?
Where do you need to invite God’s peace into your life?
How can you actively choose faith over fear today?
Let’s Close in Prayer
"Lord, we come before You today, confessing the times we’ve put other things before You. Help us to prioritize You above all else. Give us the faith to trust Your provision, the wisdom to align with Your will, and the strength to surrender fully to You. Thank You for Your patience and unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen."
Takeaway from the episode:
Think of one decision you're facing right now. Invite God into the process, surrender your plans, and trust Him for guidance. Come back to this episode whenever you need to refocus.
Go live, love, learn, and lead according to the call God has on your life.
