ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

FEAR DISPELLED BY TRUST
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Proverbs 24:25, NIV Being concerned about what someone else is thinking or can do is a common fear that many people have. They are more worried about what someone may think than is necessary. When that fear is high enough, one will be trapped into doing what the other person wants. Some will make poor choices based off their fear of someone else. The more poor choices are made, the more entangl
