Do
Not Be Afraid
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
…an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream. ‘Joseph, son of David,’ the angel said, ‘do not be
afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the
Holy Spirit’
Matthew 1:20, NLT.
TODAY’S
WORD
Have you ever felt
overwhelmed or even afraid of what God has called you to do? Maybe you were
pursuing a dream or goal and things didn’t turn out the way you planned. Joseph
had planned to take Mary as his wife, but when he found out she was pregnant,
he didn’t know what to think. He was afraid that he might be making a mistake
because things didn’t turn out the way he planned. But, God sent a messenger in
a dream to reassure Joseph that he was on the right path.
Today let me reassure you
that God knows right where you are, and He knows how to get you to where you
need to be. Even when things don’t go the way you planned, His hand is on you.
Do not be afraid, trust that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf and
that He will lead you into the life of blessing that He has prepared for you.
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I choose
to trust in You. Even when things don’t go the way I planned, I know You are at
work in my life. Thank You for Your perfect love which casts out all fear. I
love You and surrender every area of my life to You in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” (Revelation 21:3-4 NLT)
