Mature Christian women know that following Christ will mean suffering. But they believe the promises like 1 Peter 3:14, “But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,” and 1 Peter 4:19, “Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.”
That is what Christian women do: They entrust their souls to a faithful Creator. They hope in God. And they triumph over fear.

Fearlessness
I know God has a lot of work to do in me in this area. Does fear and anxiety capture your thought life at times? John Piper says, from Scripture, that we should be fearless women...ones who hope in God and trust Him completely.
