to change our circumstances and start asking Him to change our hearts, that’s when we experience the peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.”1

I was also nervous about what people would say or think about me. That’s what the fear of man looks like.

OVERCOMING FEAR MEANS SURRENDERING CONTROL
