Overcoming Fear, Walking by Faith, Living in Freedom

Fear has a way of gripping the heart, especially in uncertain seasons. It whispers lies of inadequacy, amplifies the unknown, and often keeps us from stepping into the fullness of life. But there’s another way—a way of faith that leads to freedom.

In my own journey, I’ve faced moments where fear threatened to overwhelm me: a health scare, a life transition, the ever-present question of what’s next. Yet, through it all, I’ve discovered that overcoming fear is not about suppressing it but about walking forward with faith, anchored in God’s promises.

1. Naming the Fear The first step in overcoming fear is recognizing its presence. What are you afraid of? Is it failure? Change? Loss? Naming the fear brings it out of the shadows and into the light, where God’s truth can shine on it.

For me, fear crept in through the uncertainties of a recent diagnosis. Would my life change drastically? How would I navigate this new reality? Yet, in the quiet of prayer and reflection, I was reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

2. Choosing Faith Over Feelings Faith doesn’t mean we won’t feel afraid; it means we choose to trust God in the midst of it. It’s a decision to lean on His strength rather than our own. Faith invites us to see beyond the immediate to the eternal, grounding us in the truth that God is for us and with us.

Chair yoga and fresh juices may seem like small steps, but they’re part of how I live out faith in practical ways. Each decision to care for my body reflects trust in the One who designed it. Each moment in Scripture anchors my soul in His promises.

3. Living in Freedom True freedom comes when fear no longer dictates our choices. It’s the freedom to step into the unknown with courage, to live each day with purpose, and to embrace the life God has called us to.

Living in freedom means staying connected to God through daily devotions, fostering community with others, and extending grace to ourselves when the journey feels hard. It’s not a perfect path, but it’s a joyful one—marked by hope, peace, and the assurance of His presence.
