Proverbs 28: 1
The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.
This Proverb tells us that to give in to fear is wicked. To push through the fear to do whatever it is boldly is godly. Facing the fear boldly is Your way, Lord; running away is the opposite of Your way, it is evil and wicked.
Help me, Father, to always look to You whenever I perceive fear rearing its ugly head in my imagination. Strengthen me in the confidence of Your Presence with me to face the adversary boldly. Grant me bold humility in confronting those who are against me, and teach me Your compassion for those who are in bondage to their own chains.
Grant me Your victory through the Blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony of Your goodness and grace.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
