Medo
O medo é uma das emoções mais paralisantes. Mas a Bíblia repete mais de 300 vezes: 'Não temas.' O perfeito amor lança fora o medo, porque Deus está conosco.
O antídoto contra o medo
No amor não existe medo; o perfeito amor lança fora o medo. O medo tem a ver com castigo, mas quem ama está em Deus.

Deus é refúgio
O Senhor é a minha luz e minha salvação — de quem terei medo? Ele é fortaleza da minha vida — de quem me recearei?
Confiar e não temer
Quando o medo chegar, confie em Deus. O Senhor é escudo e refúgio — Ele acalma tempestades e silencia todo medo.
Não temas — Eu estou contigo
Deus repete: não temas, porque eu sou contigo. Ele segura nossa mão direita e nos fortalece em cada situação de medo.
Paz que vence o medo

If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.
