Hey beautiful friend,
We wanted to send you some encouragement today. Here is what we know is true: we can cling to faith in the face of fear and worry. Fear wants to paralyze us. Fear wants us to settle for less than God’s best. Worry can cause us to lose our trust in God, and even when do stay strong, fear, worry, and anxiety can rob us of our peace and joy. Fix your focus on Jesus right now.
I started TransFit 10 years ago as a ministry for women, like myself, who needed to find a relationship with others and with Christ and to move their bodies to awaken their minds. I believe that more than ever today we need to encourage one another to stay strong in Christ and to move our bodies in gratitude—praising our mighty God for the blessings we have today. He is up to something, my friends, and His glory will be revealed.
Our TransFit Team wants to be a resource for you, a listening ear, a positive outlet for you and your family to come to move, worship, find hope and encouragement.
Below are some of my favorite scriptures that have helped me renew my mind to overcome fear by increasing faith. I pray they give you comfort and hope.
Deuteronomy 31:8 “He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
When you’re fearing a situation or emotional challenge, really envision God saying this, just to you. He’s on your side. No matter who leaves after promising forever, He tells us, “I am here. You will be okay. I’m all you need, and you’re not alone.”
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
So much fear is based on the wrong assumption that when we are too far gone for God’s help, to seek salvation. He’s so good. Fight fear by believing God will turn your situation around for good, simply because He has a purpose for your life and no amount of mistakes can stop His love.
Isaiah 43:1 “Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.”
God specially calls us not to fear or worry. The phrase “fear not” is used at least 75 times in the Bible, most likely because He knows the enemy uses fear to decrease our hope and limit our joy. By focusing on Christ, and how He considers us His prized, redeemed ones, our focus naturally shifts from fear to faith. But whatever you’re fearing-the current health crisis, family problem, financial struggle-focus on the power of a God who calls you by name!
1 John 4:18 “Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear”
Stop, right now. Press pause and meditate on this scripture. How God’s love has made us less fearful through life, gives us hope. God is love. Perfect love. And the closer we come to Him, the less power fear has over us, because we feel God’s continual presence-His strength, His comfort, and His grace. The key is abiding in that love, on a minute-by-minute basis. It has to be more than a Biblical truth in our lives. We need to experience it continually-we need to live it.
Psalm 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.”
Choosing a favorite Psalm is like deciding my favorite exercise, but this one sings the story of my life. Speak these words over the cause of your fear. God is our refuge and hiding place. For David, this meant sitting in a cave praying trained warriors bypassed his route. For us, it’s more like sitting in our cars in carpool with worship music playing, refusing fear, and praising instead. Believe this-it absolutely works! We weren’t saved only to walk through life with fear and anxiety. God can be our rock if we let Him. Trust Him to deliver you from every fear today. Amen!
