The Quiet Life
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Fear can be crippling, stopping you from doing the very things that God is calling you to do. His love can help you overcome all obstacles. Pray for the confidence to follow your heart. Read over some of the many Scriptures in the Bible that begin with “fear not,” and trust that He is ready to help you accomplish your greatest achievements.
Lord, I know You are with me every step of the way. Give me the courage to take that leap of faith. Because of You, I know that I am not alone in the fight against fear.
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.—Job 2:11 (NIV)
Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
