Anxiety and fear. Do you struggle with one or both of these!? Do you realize it’s not Gods will for you to live in anxiety or fear? In fact, God commands us to “fear not”, and cast our anxieties on Him!

So how do we break free? First, acknowledge that fear is a spirit that God had not given us. He wants us to be free and He has provided a sound mind for us, but we have a part to play!

So what’s our part!? It’s not quite as simple as following steps, because it’s more about relationship with God, but if I were to write them out in three steps, here is what has helped me in breaking free from fear…

First, we must break agreements with the spirit of fear and every lie it has told us, and agree with the truth of Gods word (do this out loud)! If you are unsure what fears are lurking in your heart, ask God to show you and get quite to identify the roots. And if you need help finding truth to replace it with, Gods word has truth pertaining to every need we have!

Next, we must come to Him and lay our fears and anxieties daily at His feet, surrendering them to Him. We can do this by talking to God and imagine bringing each thing weighing on our heart to Him, laying them at His feet.

And last and most important, spend time fellowshipping with the Father, remembering His faithfulness. Remind your heart of all He has done! Let Him quite your fears with His great love, for His perfect love casts out all fear!
