Trusting in God brings courage and freedom (Proverbs 29:25, Heb 13:5-6)

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25 NIV
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Hebrews 13:5‭-‬6 NIV
How do we trust God more? Corporate worship, brings to memory God's greatness and superiority. 
Fear of man traps us, holds us back from being authentic and true. 
What does a snare look like? Dominating others, speaking to only people who believe as you do. Staying quiet at the expense of others who would benefit from your viewpoint. 
Trusting God is going to high ground. Speaking truth in love and humility. Jesus is our example. 
Matthew 10:28, don't fear man who kill the body, God's authority and power is unlimited. 
Acts 5:29, courage to obey even when your scared. Deuteronomy 31:6, God is with you. Joshua 1:9, Heb 13:5,6, the Lord is my helper.
