Verse of the Day

A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.

Perfect love casts out fear

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

Read in context Explain

Today's insight

Fear brings distress and anxiety to your soul, "because fear hath torment." Yet God shows us a different way to live, assuring us that "there is no fear in love." As you welcome His "perfect love" into your heart today, it gently drives away every dread and makes you whole.

Reflect

Where are you carrying torment today, and what would it look like to let love drive that fear away?

Prayer

Lord, please quiet the turmoil inside me with Your gentle presence. Where dread and anxiety trouble my thoughts, fill me instead with Your perfect love that casts out all fear. Teach me to rest securely in You today. Amen.
