“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  Is there something you fear right now?  Are you trying to tackle it in your power or in His?  He wants us to ask Him for help and wisdom and perseverance. Please pray that we and our friends depend on God when we are tempted to fear something. Please pray for all cancer to leave Brian McDonnell.
