Many of us are held back—not by physical chains—but by fear of what others think, craving approval, or fear of rejection. We know we’re called to live boldly for God, but we get stuck—trapped by fear.

Proverbs 29:25 warns us clearly:

“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”

Fear is no respecter of persons. No matter how strong your faith, how high you’ve risen, or how far you’ve come, fear can still find its way into the heart. Even the greatest among us — prophets, kings, and apostles — have faced moments where fear threatened to overtake them. Fear may be inevitable, but so is the power of our God to overcome it. And praise God — through Him, we are not called to be slaves to fear!

Words that wound or healWords can tear down or build up—but when spoken in prayer or confession, they can heal.Apostle James challenges us to go deeper: to bring our pain, sin, and struggles into the light—through prayer and confession.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391
