Do Not Be Afraid

If peace is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, why do so many of us struggle with it?  Even as followers of Jesus, many of us continue to feel, think, and live as though we are at war with ourselves and/or the people around us.  We assess situations and obsess over what could happen.  We hold onto grudges toward ourselves and others.  We view life and the world as things we have to manage constantly as though we have enough control over the world that our worry keeps disaster at bay.  We trust God with our salvation, but we act as though everything before Heaven is still ours to solve.  Yet throughout the Bible, God tells us, "Do not be afraid."  What is stealing your peace?  What are you carrying, and how long have you carried it?  Join Cinthia to take an honest look at the things blocking you from enjoying the peace that Jesus left with us.
