Barriers to Worship: Fear and Anxiety

The Bible has a lot to say about fear. In fact, 365 times some version of “Do not fear” is found in Scripture. When God says something that many times, it’s important that we sit up and listen! My prayer is that you will be encouraged this morning even if (actually, especially if) this is an area you struggle with. The reality is that we all struggle with fear and anxiety on some level. However, we don’t want to let our fear paralyze us from using the gifts and talents that God has given us to carry out His mission. Today, we will look at fear and anxiety and how we can see them through a Biblical lens and use God’s promises to face them head-on.
