"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." "Fear is for sissies." "I ain't afraid of nothin'" "Why do you fear?" These are some statements and quotes about fear that I am sure we have all heard at one time or another during our lives. Fear is a very real emotion that can immobilize a person or disrupt their normal thinking processes!
The last phrase "Why do you fear?" is from our Lord and Savior. My answer would be "Because I am human and I don't have all the answers!" One of the assuring things about being a child of God is that we have God watching over us and giving us strength and comfort at all times -- even in fearful times. There are so many things to fear in this world with all the hateful things going on around us. We know beyond a shadow of doubt that fear has no power over us if we trust our Heavenly Father.
Lord, thank you for understanding our fears and comforting us. Please help us to rely on you so fear doesn't conquer us!
Foodie Friday
I found some sugar snap peas in my freezer and forgot what I bought them for. I remembered I wanted to try a stir fry recipe with them! I found the recipe below. I may add a few things like mushrooms or peas. I like peas. ;-) I have some brown rice to serve it over!
