Lord help us to cast away any fear, anxiety or apprehension about the continued destruction of our nation.
May our only fear be that we would fear, respect and be in awe of our Mighty God.
Help us to walk in love, joy and in Truth.
Our Kingdom is not of this earth.
You are our Lord and King.
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 95
1 O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and the dry land, which his hands have formed.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down,
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!
8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your ancestors tested me,
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not regard my ways.’
11 Therefore in my anger I swore,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’
Amen, thank you for your many prayers. We partner together for the souls of our nation in Jesus Name, Amen.
Adding my prayers. God bless.
Amen, ViLaLuz

What does it mean to have the fear of God?
For the unbeliever, the fear of God is the fear of the judgment of God and eternal death, which is eternal separation from God (Luke 12:5; Hebrews 10:31). For the believer, the fear of God is something much different. The believer’s fear is reverence of God. (Rest of the article at the link below)

AMEN !

What does the Bible mean when it tells us to fear not?
The Bible’s commands to “fear not” are plentiful and occur in a variety of contexts. As God’s people, we are not to be fearful. We have no reason to live in fear.
The Bible often says things like, “Do not fear,” “Do not be afraid,” and “Fear not.” Of course, these commands do not contradict the command to “fear God” (1 Peter 2:17). The fear of God keeps us from sin; the fear of man leads to sin, and that is what we are to avoid: “The fear of man brings a snare” (Proverbs 29:25, NKJV). Also, the biblical command do not fear does not negate the need for prudence and caution in this world. We are not to be cavalier but prayerful in the face of danger.

What is the key to not being afraid according to the Bible?
Everyone is afraid sometime, about something. We live in a world that offers plenty of chances to fear, and we can be rather creative in thinking of new things to be fearful of. Maybe that’s why one of the most oft-repeated commands in the Bible is do not be afraid. Of course, the Bible does more than issue the command; it gives us good reasons why we do not need to be afraid.
Here are some biblical keys to not being afraid:
* Trust in God.
* Don’t focus on the fear.
* Choose to praise the Lord.
* Remember the future God has promised His children.
* Combat the temptation to fear.

What does the Bible say about fear?
The Bible mentions two specific types of fear. The first type is beneficial and is to be encouraged. The second type is a detriment and is to be overcome. The first type of fear is fear of the Lord.
...The second type of fear mentioned in the Bible is not beneficial at all. This is the “spirit of fear” mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (NKJV). A spirit of fearfulness and timidity does not come from God.

Prayer To Overcome Fear
Heavenly Father, we live in a world that is becoming increasingly evil and which can fill our hearts with fears and terror when we see what is happening in the world around us, but I praise You that You have promised to uphold all Your children with Your righteous right hand when we are faced with all sorts of horrors and dangers, and that no matter what we may have to face in this life, You will always be with us to comfort and succour. Thank You Father, that Your plans and purposes for mankind will eventually be fully realised.
Father, we have no clue what personal difficulties any one of us may have to face, but what a comfort to know that You have overcome every form of evil. Sin, Satan and even death itself have already been overcome by the blood of Christ Jesus, Who has given us His life everlasting.
I thank You that You are a faithful and ever-loving God, and I pray that when the icy fingers of fear start to clasp around our throats, that the warmth of Your love and grace would melt away all our fears as we look to Jesus, our Saviour and friend, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
