This time of year can be quite hectic for all for all of us as we gear up for another busy school year. Sometimes it feels like things are out of control. It’s times like this that I get comfort from God’s Word. It tells us that fear and anxiety are not from God. In fact, we can tap into His power and have peace and self-discipline over fear through the Holy Spirit. What comfort!

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. ~2Timonthy 1:7

Have a great weekend!
