Fear is one of the enemy’s favorite tools to distract and discourage God’s daughters. It may show up as anxiety, intimidation, nightmares, spiritual oppression, or fascination with dark things. God invites us into a life free from fear through the power of His truth and His presence.

As Halloween approaches, it’s important to take a biblical look at what we participate in and celebrate—especially as moms leading our homes spiritually.

Now I want to approach this with grace — no shame, no judgment. Every family is on a journey. But scripture encourages us to use wisdom and discernment.

Ephesians 5:11 — “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

1️⃣ It Normalizes Darkness & Evil

2️⃣ It Desensitizes Kids to the Enemy’s Influence

3️⃣ It Is Spiritually Rooted in Fear

SO HOW DO WE BREAK FREE FROM FEAR?

✅ 1️⃣ Replace Fear With Truth

Fear grows in the absence of truth.

John 8:36 — “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Every time fear speaks, speak back with scripture.
“I’m alone” → God is with me (Joshua 1:9)
“I’m not safe” → God is my defender (Psalm 91)

✅ 2️⃣ Close Any Doors the Enemy Has Used

Sometimes fear comes from what we entertain:

• Scary movies
• Dark imagery
• Witchcraft or supernatural fascination
  
  
  

James 4:7 — “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Pray through your home.
Ask the Holy Spirit:
“What needs to go?”

This doesn’t have to be dramatic — it’s just taking spiritual authority.

✅ 3️⃣ Fill Your Home With Light

Fear cannot thrive where God is welcomed.

Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?”

Practical ideas:

• Worship music in the background
• Scripture on walls
• Prayer and gratitude moments as a family
  
  Let your home become a sanctuary of peace.

Fear doesn’t get to lead your story.
You are a daughter of the light.
The enemy has no power over you.

Psalm 34:4 — “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”

Take a deep breath — God is with you. And every step you take in truth breaks fear’s hold on your life.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

1) Your worth is in who you are, not what you do. Your identity is rooted in Christ, not in motherhood, ministry, or performance.

2) God defines your value. Whether you’re busy or resting, His love for you remains the same.

• 1 john 3:1- see what great love the father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God
• Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
• Jeremiah 31:3 says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you out with lovingkindness"
• Romans 8:38-39: proclaims, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord"

3) Roles can change, identity doesn’t. Seasons shift, but being a daughter of the King is unchanging.

Is it just me or are you exhausted from the constant busyness of life? Ovewhelemd by the tasks at hand. Constantly striving for success only to come up empty handed?

Busyness does not equal success- there are so many days where I feel like I’ve ‘accomplished’ something but then when I really look back its all a bunch of nonsense that really didn’t give me any human connection or time with my family or growth in my faith. It was just stuff i thought I needed to do to move a certain invisible needle forward…to gain what? To accomplish what?

I’m not saying that doing work is a bad thing. We DO need to work and we can’t be lazy BUT when we find ourselves exhausted from the grind it is time to take a good look at ourselves and reevaluate our priorities.

1. Take inventory of what is most important to you. Do you value time with your spouse or friends or kids? Are you extrovert so you know that you need some good quality time with people to fill your cup or are you introverted and know that some quiet time with jesus will really fill you?

Again this is about us reevaluate our true desires for our life and what we are actually putting our effort into.

I encourage you to make two lists- one that shows the desires you have for your life- in relationships, in ministry, at work etc. Then the second list write down your actual actiivtes over the next few days…how you actually spent your time and energy. Then compare. Are the activities you are giving your energy too fulfilling the desires of your heart

2. REST- seems so obvious but why is it so hard to do??

- Learn to say no

-Schedule actual downtime for rest

-Get outside!!

3. SLOW DOWN- No the same as resting although they are like sisters lol

-Slowing down is choice to say no. To stop and literally smell the roses. To choose to pay attention to what is right in front of you instead of worrying about what comes next. To seek Him first and let HIM take care of the rest.

-This involves keeping up with ‘tasks’ but allowing yourself to breathe while you do it.
