Unshaken faith when I’m paralyzed by fear [UNSHAKEN #4]

What are you most afraid of in your life? In Genesis 32 we encounter Jacob facing his greatest fear ­– the fear of meeting his estranged brother Esau and suffer his wrath for having exploited him on two occasions. In the middle of this darkest of nights, Jacob comes to the realization that the only place to wrestle with his fears and find breakthrough is in prayer. And as he wrestles, he learns that his fear is overcome when he allows God to bring him to a place of brokenness and surrender. If you feel paralyzed by fear, you too are called to draw closer to God and trust that even when you feel like you can’t hang on to God anymore, He’s got his hold on you.
