God Takes Away Fear

All things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

1 Corinthians 3:21–23

Let Christ assure me he is mine,

I nothing want beside;

My soul shall at the fountain live,

When all the streams are dried.

President Lincoln once told how God took away his fears concerning the battle at Gettysburg. “In the pinch of the campaign up there at Gettysburg, when everybody seemed panicstricken and nobody could tell what was going to happen, oppressed by the gravity of our affairs, I went to my room one day and locked the door and got down on my knees before Almighty God and prayed to him mightily for victory at Gettysburg. I told him that this war was his war, and our cause his cause. . . . After that, I don’t know how it was, and I cannot explain it, but soon a sweet comfort crept into my soul. The feeling came that God had taken the whole business into his own hands and that things would go right at Gettysburg, and that is why I had no fears about you.” Lincoln testified that God took away his fears through prayer.
