Fear: Taming the Enemy Within

Reading: 2 Timothy 1:3-7

We have all experienced some fear, and in fact there is a fear that is quite good to have. But what about the fear that cripples and enslaves us? Scripture tells us that God has not given us a spirit of cowardice and fear, but of power and love and discipline. God has given us the resources we need, and Scripture can indeed help us understand the nature of our fears and what we can do to tame this enemy that attacks us from within.We have all experienced some fear, and in fact there is a fear that is quite good to have.
