00:004. Breaking free from fear I am the Lord, the one who encourages you.
00:07Why are you afraid of mere humans? They dry up and die like grass.
00:12Isaiah 51 verse 12 Who are you afraid of?
00:17The kid on social media who posts mean comments directed at you?
00:21The friend who threatens to reject you anytime you disagree with them?
00:26The adult who cuts you down, making you feel like a fool?
00:30The coach who is sometimes unfair to you? We are made to need people in our lives but
00:35not be ruled by them. As we grow, we learn to balance people's opinions of us with what God
00:41thinks about us. We settle into being comfortable with who we are and finding people who love us.
00:48Today's scripture verse shows us how we can begin to grow in that confidence,
00:52by getting closer to God. He is always standing with you and giving you courage and strength to
00:58face any situation or person in life. So do your best to focus on God. You can do this by
01:05spending special time with Him every day in prayer and by reading your Bible. Or you can
01:10find quiet moments to think about who He is. As you get closer to Him, you will learn to filter
01:17every hurtful comment through His truth. Does He say you are worthless? Does He say you can't?
01:24Never. Drown out the fears of what others think with the truth of what God says.
01:30People's feelings and opinions change, like grass that dries up and dies, but God's love
01:36will never change or fail you. Don't fear man. God is with you. Inspiration. Do not fear mistakes.
01:46You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
01:49Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America.
