Fruit Snack: Fearless Faith

In episode 11 of the Faith Inspired Podcast, we spoke with Esther Marie about the many faces of fear and how to conquer them with six fear-crushing steps. However, we left out the most important step to becoming fearless – faith. 

As Esther stated in her book, Unhindered by Fear, “Without faith, fear will continue to have power over you.” You can do each of the six steps over and over and over again, but until you have faith, you will stay on the cycle of fear. 

She put it so perfectly, “Jesus died to save us from an empty, fear-filled life. Faith is our response to accept Jesus’ invitation to an adventurous and full life. Faith means you are trusting in Jesus completely.” 

The truth is, no matter how hard we work at slaying our fears, we will never be able to do it alone. Jesus is the only way to a fresh and fearless start. 

If you want to start a relationship with Jesus or if you’ve been a follower of Christ and need a reboot to finally conquer your fears once and for all, pray this prayer:  

“God, I want to have fearless faith in you. I don’t want fear to control my life any longer. Jesus, I ask you to take away my shame and give me a brand new start. I want to have a relationship with you and live an adventurous life fearlessly with you. Thank you for answering my prayer, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer, you have been set free from fear! Live each day forward, knowing Jesus already paved the way for you and has taken away the biggest fear of all; the fear of death. You are a new creation in Him. You are unhindered by fear.
