00:004. Breaking free from fear I am the Lord, the one who encourages you.

00:07Why are you afraid of mere humans? They dry up and die like grass.

00:12Isaiah 51 verse 12 Who are you afraid of?

00:17The kid on social media who posts mean comments directed at you?

00:21The friend who threatens to reject you anytime you disagree with them?

00:26The adult who cuts you down, making you feel like a fool?

00:30The coach who is sometimes unfair to you? We are made to need people in our lives but

00:35not be ruled by them. As we grow, we learn to balance people's opinions of us with what God

00:41thinks about us. We settle into being comfortable with who we are and finding people who love us.

00:48Today's scripture verse shows us how we can begin to grow in that confidence,

00:52by getting closer to God. He is always standing with you and giving you courage and strength to

00:58face any situation or person in life. So do your best to focus on God. You can do this by

01:05spending special time with Him every day in prayer and by reading your Bible. Or you can

01:10find quiet moments to think about who He is. As you get closer to Him, you will learn to filter

01:17every hurtful comment through His truth. Does He say you are worthless? Does He say you can't?

01:24Never. Drown out the fears of what others think with the truth of what God says.

01:30People's feelings and opinions change, like grass that dries up and dies, but God's love

01:36will never change or fail you. Don't fear man. God is with you. Inspiration. Do not fear mistakes.

01:46You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
