DO NOT FEAR :: Controlling runaway thoughts

DO NOT FEAR :: Controlling runaway thoughts

It has been said, "Do not fear" is one of the most frequent words we read in the Bible. It's mentioned at least 365 times in the Bible! Why would God feel like we needed to hear this so often? Maybe it's because we are fear-driven people. During this crazy time we will be looking at the promises and assurance we have from God's word. God wants you to know His peace!
