Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Facing Our Fear
Today’s Scripture: Psalms 91:1-10
Fear can creep into our life without our realizing it. The intrusion can be so subtle, in fact, that we may not recognize how it affects our decision-making, our health, and our spirit.
The fear may seem unimportant at first, but it can begin to interfere with us in many ways. Physically, we may experience tension that keeps us from relaxing and enjoying life. Worry can also cloud our thinking, limiting our ability to think clearly and consider new possibilities.

But the mental paralysis that often accompanies unchecked fear is most dangerous to our spiritual life. Unless it is entrusted to God, a single fear can rule over us, coloring our attitude with a general sense of unease. That can lead to indecisiveness and worry about whether we will make the wrong choice. Then we feel trapped, as we try to avoid doing anything that might add to our anxiety. Consequently, we stop growing as Christians and can also find ourselves hindered in our work and family life.
There are times when we all experience fear. That’s part of being human. But if we allow ourselves to be paralyzed by worry, we cannot place complete trust in God and follow Him wholeheartedly (Psalm 27:1). Ask the Lord to reveal places where anxiety is holding you back and to help you address them.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 31-32
