When I was being terribly abused, I took hold of that fear, instead of the fear taking hold of me, and though I shook from head to toe, I knew the Lord would help me and I did what I had to do, regardless. I did not let fear stop me under any circumstances, no matter what would have happened to me. I took a stand and by faith, God took my hand and stepped in, as I left my abuser. I was set free. Just as He promised.
