Fear was foreign to man until Adam sinned against God. For the first time, Adam knew fear, and he hid from God and said, “I heard Your voice... I was afraid... I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:10)
Since then, man has been living in the realm of fear – fear of the future, fear of what others might say, fear of diseases, fear of flying... Actually, every fear is born out of the feeling of being cut off from God.
The antidote to fear is God's love. The apostle John says that “perfect love casts out fear”. When you know that Abba Father Daddy God so loves you that He gave His Son to take your beating so that you can take His blessings, you will stop fearing.
It was not the nails that kept Jesus on the cross. It was His love for you. And if God did not withhold Jesus – His one and only begotten Son whom He loves, why do you think that He will withhold healing, finances or a blessed marriage from you?
Today, when you hear His voice, you will hear Him say, “You are My beloved child, in you I am well pleased.” He is out to protect and provide for you, so fear not!

Give our Lord JESUS all the praise :)
