be free

Don’t give fear, anxiety, and insecurity the power to steal your joy, your laughter, and your freedom today.  “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” 

Fear, anxiety, and insecurity are some of the main predators of the spiritual life.  They will eat up all of your joy and your life and your freedom if you let them.  Don’t let them; that’s the key.  It’s why Paul tells the Galatians to “Stand firm.”  You are not powerless in this struggle.  You have the Spirit of God living within you. 

Lord Jesus, give me the strength and the grace and the courage to stand firm whenever something, or someone, tries to rob me of my joy and laughter and freedom.  You desire me to live freely, and you give me the power to do so.  Help me to live in that truth.  Amen.
