Read the following Scriptures. Ask the Lord to speak to you as you read.
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ”All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
- Hebrews 4:12 ”For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Fight With Your Double-Edged Sword
When fear whispers in your ear and its icy fingers try to grip your heart, fight it with Scripture!
As Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 3:16–17, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the person of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
And God himself says about his Word in Isaiah 55:11b, “It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” God’s Word is powerful!
The Help Club for Moms made a beautiful printable with powerful Bible verses called “Scriptures to Combat Fear” to help you walk by faith through this tough season. You’ll find this link at the end of Day 12. Print it out and hang it where you will see it often – on your bathroom mirror or your fridge. Find some more of your own, and write them somewhere that you can see them daily. God’s words are life! Speak them over your life, and also directly to the fear that comes against you. God’s words are alive and active; they change things. Speak LIFE!
Prayer for today: Father, thank you for your words of life to me. Help me to use them in a way in which they become a part of my identity and I can use them to overcome fear. Thank you for your great love for me, your provision for me, and your victory for me. I love you. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

I am passionate about helping women hear from God. This year has been an incredibly difficult one for our family, but in the fire of this trial, I have felt the love of God so much more intensely and personally than ever before. I have also found the beauty of seeking God's heart in a much deeper way. I want to know His heartbeat, see what He sees, hear what He hears, say what He says, do what He does, and make His perfect love known.
Come along with me on the adventure of a lifetime!
