Summary
Every day we experience fear in some way. Whether it’s fear over the opinion of others, fear of the future, or fear over the ways and plans of evil, we’re in need of comfort and faith.
Today we’re going to spend time focusing on protection God offers us every day in his goodness and love. May our hearts be comforted and our hands filled with strength as we make space for God to fill.
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and today's worship is God of Israel by Maverick City feat. Naomi Raine & Maryanne J. George.

________
As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:
“Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”
At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.

| 1:05.0 | I used to be scared to death anytime I heard someone talking about the devil. He always seems so cunning, too cunning for me to handle. And I saw Christian after Christian, enveloped in temptation, |
| 1:16.0 | fall away from what seemed to be God's will for their life. I heard about the ways in which the |
| 1:22.5 | world was so tricked by his schemes. And I thought I'd never be able to fully defeat this strong and cunning foe. |

| 2:06.6 | When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. |
| 2:14.6 | Let that truth sink in for a minute. Everything the devil tells you is a lie. He cannot |
