‘Get a grip!’

God made us emotional creatures; yet, at times we let our emotions control us. He never meant for that to happen.

Are you being held by fear's grip?

Anxiety is a cruel taskmaster that seeks to gain control over our thoughts and feelings.

Resist.

“Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7 NASB).”

Free yourself from the deceiver’s grip; turn to the LORD for deliverance.

He is our refuge; the safe place.

“God is our refuge and strength,
A very ready help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes
And the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah (Psalm 46:1-3 NASB).”

Relax; you’re in safe hands.

“My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one (John 10:27-30 NASB).”

Trust Him; He’ll never lose His grip.

“If I take up the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me (Psalm 139:9-10 NASB).”
