The Sure Word for Today

Day 2: Fear Will Not Define My Next Step

[Fear has a way of paralysing progress. It whispers lies that magnify obstacles and minimise your ability to overcome them. Yet God’s Word reminds you in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Fear cannot define your next step when God is the one guiding it.

Fear wants to convince you to remain still, but faith calls you to move forward. The difference between staying stuck and advancing often lies in the voice you choose to believe. Acting in faith does not mean you feel no fear; it means you refuse to let fear dictate your direction. When God is with you, fear loses its authority over your decisions.

Today, decide that fear will no longer control your steps. Move forward with courage, even if your heart trembles. Each step of faith silences fear and makes room for God’s power to be revealed.

Connect (Your Challenge and Response)

Your challenge may be that fear has kept you from pursuing opportunities. Your response must be to remember God’s promise of strength and take the next step in faith.

Extend (Faith in Action)

Choose one area where fear has delayed you. Replace fear with action today, even in a small way. Show faith by moving forward instead of standing still.

Reflection And Application

Identify a decision you have postponed because of fear. Pray over it, then commit to taking one bold step forward today.
