ACTS of Faith, not THOUGHTS of Fear!

Today I came to a great realization: The Lord has helped me this year conquer fear after fear, by prompting me to do specific acts of faith. ACTS of FAITH instead of THOUGHTS of FEAR!!! That is my life motto now and it is allowing miracles to come into my life daily! Faith is a tender mercy.

In the Book of Mormon, the Nephites defeat the Gaddianton Robbers by ACTS of FAITH, not thoughts of fear.
3 Nephi 4:10 "But in this thing they were disappointed, for the Nephites did not fear them; but they did fear their God and did supplicate him for protection; therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them they were prepared to meet them; yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them."
