Fear Not!

Posted June 23rd, 2009 by Women of Faith

I had really been looking forward to the conference in Ft. Lauderdale, but after working early voting, and preparing for early elections I was spent emotionally, and physically. The week prior to the conference, I found that my husband had to have by-pass surgery. The last thing I wanted to do was go to the conference, but was persuaded to go by my BFF.

The torment was terrible. I could not sing or enjoy what was going on. All I could do was pray, cry and whine. Then Marilyn came on. She started to break that wall down and as I sat there crying I heard the words that Mary heard, “Fear Not!” God spoke to me. He let me know that he was in charge and every time I started to slip, He gave me those words. As I sit here today, I feel the hand of Jesus on my shoulder reassuring me. God has promised never to leave me or forsake me. He loved me enough to give me that promise 365 days a year. All I have to do is claim it. Thanks ladies. See you in Ft. Lauderdale.

Love you and God Bless
Mary Ann E.

    Thank you Mary Ann E for your testimony and thank you ladies of WOF I have attended the last two conferences in Phoenix and can say that each time God used the stories and music to reach deeper into my heart and strengthen my faith.

    Fear not!!! I needed to be reminded of that today, in this moment. I sit on my pc waiting for God to answer my prayers of employment and waiting for Him to preserve my home and get out of foreclosure. My marriage is on the rocks, my kids know something is wrong. But my God promises never to leave or forsake me and rather than get caught up in fear and worry I will trust in Him who loves me as His precious daughter.

    I eagerly anticipate the WOF in Az this year, so many of my friends need to hear the encouragement and feel the love and laughter that you bring along with the message of hope and salvation in Christ.

    I love you all and pray for you faithfully

    Terri
