How To Overcome Fear (Business Devo)
Scripture Reference:
Psalm 46
Psalm 46 is a bold incantation of courage for whenever challenges or fear arise - speak empowering truth into your circumstances.
Summary
In this business devotional, we explore how to harness Psalm 46 as a powerful incantation to build our faith when facing difficult circumstances.
First, we discuss the importance of speaking truth and biblical facts aloud into our situations - even if we don't feel courageous. Declaring God's promises despite our feelings can reframe our perspective.
Next, we recommend keeping a "Wins Journal" to recall times when God showed up in the past. Remembering His faithfulness builds confidence to weather current storms.
We also cover the need to pause and see the facts clearly whenever challenges arise. Reacting in haste from a place of fear leads to poor decisions. But calmly assessing the reality leads to breakthroughs.
Finally, we examine how trials force us to cultivate perseverance and push past self-imposed limits. With an adjustment in mindset, we can see challenges as opportunities for growth.
Above all, we're encouraged to use Psalm 46 as a bold statement of faith - stirring our hearts with kingdom truths when hardship comes. God is our refuge and strength!
