For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment. – 2 Timothy 1:7 (CSB)

Please pray with me...

Holy Spirit, thank You for being my constant companion. You are my helper and healer, comforter and counselor. You do NOT fill me with fear that leads to hopelessness. Your Spirit fills me with unstoppable faith and power. You call me to fight fear and shine bright in this dark world.

I will follow You. Lead me on. In Jesus’ powerful name I pray, Amen.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS

Please grab your Fight Fear with Faith journal. You may want to take notes during the video and share your insights with your small group.

This is Punch #2. If you missed Punch #1, you can read the blog and watch the video HERE.

• Real – In your mind, what’s the connection between worry (what if….), paralyzing fear, and hopelessness?

• Raw – What's at risk if we stay stuck in hopelessness and stop moving forward in faith?

• Power Punch #2 – How is practicing gratitude to God “on repeat” a faith strategy that can help us fight fear with faith and shine bright in a dark world?

FAITH CHALLENGE

• Relevant – VICTORY ACTIVITY – The Power of Gratitude for Faith Growth

• Every day for the next month, I challenge you to record in your journal 5-15 gifts from God you’re grateful for. By practicing gratitude on repeat, we are fighting fear with faith: taking our thoughts captive, following Jesus’ example, and shining bright in a dark world.

Let’s press on with a powerful spirit of gratefulness and watch our HOPE rise! Stay in the fight! I believe in you.

Love, Laura
