Faith Over Fear In Our Heart

 I need you to soften my heart, And break me apart, I need you to open my eyes, To see that You're shaping my life, All I am, I surrender, Give me faith to trust what you say, That you're good and your love is great, I'm broken inside, I give you my life, I need you to soften my heart, And break me apart, I need you to pierce through the dark, And cleanse every part of me, All I am, I surrender, Give me faith to trust what you say, That you're good and your love is great, I'm broken inside, I give you my life, 'Cause I may be weak, But Your spirit strong in me, My flesh may fail, My God you never will, I may be weak, But Your spirit strong in me, My flesh may fail, My God you never will. Would I believe You when You say Your hand will guide my every way? Will I receive the words You say Every moment of every day? Well, I will walk by faith, Well, even when I cannot see, Well, because this broken road Prepares Your will for me, Well, help me to rid my endless fears, You've been so faithful for all my years, With one breath You make me new, Your grace covers all I do, Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, Well, I will walk by faith, Well, even when I cannot see, Well, because this broken road, Prepares Your will for me, Well, I'm broken (broken), But I still see Your face, Well, You've spoken (spoken), Pourin' Your words of grace, Well, I will walk by faith, Well, even when I cannot see, Well, because this broken road, Prepares Your will for me, Well, I will walk by faith, Well, even when I cannot see, Oh, well, because this broken road, Prepares Your will for me. Every anxious thought that steals my breath, It's a heavy weight upon my chest, As I lie awake and wonder what the future will hold, Help me to remember that You're in control, You're my courage when I worry in the dead of night, You're my strength 'cause I'm not strong enough to win this fight, You are greater than the battle raging in my mind, I will trust You Lord, I will fear no more, I will lift my eyes, I will lift my cares, Lay them in Your hands, I'll leave them there, When the wind and waves are coming, You shelter me, Even though I'm in the storm, the storm is not in me, You're my courage when I worry in the dead of night, You're my strength 'cause I'm not strong enough to win this fight, You are greater than the battle raging in my mind, I will trust You Lord, I will fear no more. In the eye of the storm, You remain in control, And in the middle of the war, You guard my soul, You alone are the anchor, When my sails are torn, Your love surrounds me, In the eye of the storm, When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet, Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see, When I realize I've been sold out by my friends and my family, I can feel the rain reminding me, In the eye of the storm, You remain in control, In the middle of the war, You guard my soul, You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn, Your love surrounds me, In the eye of the storm, Mmm, when my hopes and dreams are far from me, And I'm runnin' out of faith, I see the future I pictured slowly fade away, And when the tears of pain and heartache, Are pouring down my face, I find my peace in Jesus' name. Joshua 1 verse 9, 2 Timothy 1 verse 7, Romans 10 verse 17, 1 John 4 verse 18, Proverbs 19 verse 23, Psalm 118 verse 8, Proverbs 14 verse 26-27, John 14 verse 1, Psalm 19 verse 14, Matthew 6 verse 21, Proverbs 17 verse 22, Mark 11 verse 23, Psalm 9:1. In these scriptures we see how when we have a strong Faith, when we choose our Faith over the fear we may have in our heart that we don't have to be afraid because God is with us and our God is stronger than anything we face on our own. You see, when we sometimes allow our Fear to enter our Heart, we see that the enemy would love nothing more than to crush our spirit to tell us that we are not good enough. Now, when we don't listen to the lies the enemy tries to tell us and we choose Faith, and have Faith in God, we see our Heart is no longer filled with the Fear and Doubt that we aren't good enough, and rather we see the change that we are good in the Heart and the Eyes of God who we were created as Beloved Children to be. We know that we have a true Redemption Faith Story than having a story that is consumed By Fear. We should always be able to show others that Our Faith is Bigger than Our Fear and that Fear itself is a Liar. Zach Williams has a song that talks about how Fear Is A Liar which that is the name of the song but Fear only can rob us of our rest and our joy because just like in John 10:10 it says: The Thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have come so that you may life and live it to the full or live it more abundantly. You see God is on our side, He is in our Hearts and He wants us to choose our Faith over our Fear and our Anxiety. No matter what we go through, let me leave you all with this quote tonight, cause I feel it's important to end on this quote, so that we can know how our Savior is in control and with us. Fear and Faith cannot coexist in our hearts at the same time. Let us remember this tonight as we go about our weeks to help someone.
