God With us in our Fear

Fear often enters our lives when our expectations don't align with reality, leaving us wondering what else might go wrong. Joseph experienced this when Mary's pregnancy shattered his plans for a quiet, respectable life. God met Joseph in his fear through an angel who simply said, 'Do not fear.' God doesn't shame us for being afraid; instead, He anchors us in His presence and invites us into His bigger story. While God's presence doesn't always calm the external storms, He offers peace that calms the inner turmoil. When we anchor ourselves in God's presence rather than our circumstances, fear loses its controlling grip on our lives.
