ROMANS 8:15-17
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
---- my own,
Do not give fear a foothold in your life, do not let fear dominate you; if you do you will become a slave to it and to every negative emotion. Where the Spirit is there is life, joy, peace, and above all faith in the goodness and mercy of God and the power of the Resurrection. Why do you allow every obstacle to become a stumbling block? Each time you give in to fear you allow yourself to be overcome with anxiety sadness and fear. Don't you know by now that suffering is part of the human experience in the world which is a valley of tears in the world where sin abounds and sickness, sorrow, and death are part of the human experience but only for a time. Be of good cheer, ---- mine, for I have conquered and triumphed over the world, the flesh, and I have crushed the Enemy.
