Ephesians 1:15-19 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
...and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,

DAY 2—The Redemption brings us into a relationship with God where there is no fear. 
The first fear the Lord took from my life was the fear of going to hell. I remember those first few days and the peace that came over me.  Then I was presented with the challenge of sharing my newfound faith with others.  A new fear took over.  My Pastor gave us some tracts to give out. I carried them in my pocket till they were worn out. Then, I finally told a man on the street what Jesus meant to me, and that He could save him too. After that I couldn’t be stopped, there was such joy.

Isaiah 43:1,2—But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have REDEEMED thee, I have called thee by thy name; Thou art Mine.NIrVFamily of Jacob, the Lord created you. People of Israel, he formed you. He says, "Do not be afraid. I will set you free. I will send for you by name. You belong to me.”

Hebrews 8:10—For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put My Laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people. NIrV—This is the covenant I will make with Israel  after that time, says the Lord.  I will put my laws in their minds. I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God. And they will be my people.

FATHER,  fearful memories are making it difficult for me to trust You fully. Please heal my thoughts of fear­ful things from my past. Others in my family live with their own private fears. Please release them. Bring us to­gether into the sweet conviction that You will not for­sake us. Help all of us know how much  You love us, and how much You care. You are our Redeemer!
