A Prayer to Love Without Fear
By: Rachael Adams

Bible Reading: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear.” - 1 John 4:18a

Read or Listen Below:

Rejection hurts. Whether it’s being excluded from a group, passed over for an opportunity, or experiencing betrayal, these moments can leave us feeling unseen, unwanted, and afraid to try again. In self-protection, we often pull back, building walls around our hearts to shield ourselves from further pain. While these walls may feel safe, they isolate us, keeping us from the community and the love we were created for.

But God’s love is fearless and steadfast. Even when humanity rejected Him, God pursued us—first in the garden, then through Jesus, and now through the indwelling Holy Spirit. His perfect love doesn’t waver in the face of our brokenness. Instead, it meets us right where we are, casting out our fears and offering the courage to risk love again. When we allow His love to fill and guide us, we can face our fears and step into the relationships He has for us, knowing we are always seen, chosen, and cherished by Him.

Let’s Pray:
Father, I confess that fear has kept me from fully opening my heart to others. The sting of rejection and the pain of past relationships make me want to withdraw. But I know You created me for connection and have given me a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind—not of fear.

Help me to trust Your perfect love to cast out my fears. Heal the wounds that make me hesitant to love and be loved. Give me the courage to step out in faith, knowing that You see me, You choose me, and You will never reject me. Thank You for pursuing me relentlessly and for loving me without condition. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Hundreds Show Up To Protest Democrat Governor by Anastasia Boushee March 2, 2025

 

Donald Trump signed an executive order protecting females’ sports. Mills famously sparred with Trump in mid-February over the issue, where he vowed to strip the state of federal funding and she vowed to see him “in court.”

It appears that Maine residents agree with Trump on this issue, as roughly 500 people showed up to a protest outside of the State House on March 1, according to state Rep. Katrina Smith (R).

The protest “seems to have sparked organically,” according to The Daily Wire. It was reportedly spawned by a resident-created “March Against Mills” Facebook event and a Change,org.pettition.

“Huge turnout in Augusta to march for women’s equality in sports,” The Maine Wire reported in a post on X, sharing footage from the protest.

“A large protest organized by grassroots activists has developed at the State House in Maine in opposition to Maine Gov. Janet Mills continuing to force girls to play sports against male athletes,” investigative reporter Steve Robinson wrote in a post on X, sharing photos of the protest.

This was in stark contrast to an event a few days prior that was held in support of Mills, where only “dozens” of supporters gathered.

According to the “March Against Mills” Facebook event page, which organized the protest, Mills’ policies on transgenderism are not aligned with the majority of Maine residents’ values, and thus the citizens need to “hold our elected officials accountable.”

“Maine citizens are deeply dissatisfied with the policies introduced by our Governor, Janet Mills,” the Facebook post explains. “I believe strongly that her policies are not in alignment with the wishes and values of the majority of Mainers. The feeling of disconnect between the populace and leadership is palpable and widespread.”

“Various statistics underline rural-urban divide that has been exacerbated by the Governor’s decisions,” the post continues. “Example: keeping boys out of female sports.”

“It is imperative that we hold our elected officials accountable. I implore you to come show your support and protest against Mills to get her out of her elected seat! These politicians are supposed to work for us, not for themselves and their agenda!” the post concludes. “Together we can work to ensure our government truly represents us all.”

The Change.org petition against Mills currently has nearly 24,000 signatures as of the evening of March 1.

Every Illegal Alien in America Required to Register With ICE by Mark Megahan March 2, 2025

 

Every Illegal Alien in America Required to Register With ICE

President Donald Trump didn’t come up with the idea of requiring illegal aliens to register. He’s simply enforcing the law which is already on the books. Previous administrations made it a policy of ignoring any laws they weren’t in total agreement with. Like the ones for shoplifting, carjacking and armed robbery. Those days are over.

Register with the feds

According to immigration officials of the Trump administration, “anyone living in the U.S. illegally will soon have to register with the federal government.” Those who don’t face “fines, imprisonment or both.”

It’s mandatory for “everyone 14 and older who doesn’t have legal status.” Those under that age must be registered by their parents.

On Tuesday, February 25, Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a statement spelling out the requirements handed down by the Department of Homeland Security.

“Each person must register and provide their fingerprints and address.” Migrants are going frantic trying to figure out what to do because either way, they’re in a jam.

If they go ahead and register, Border Czar Tom Homan knows exactly where to pick them up for deportation. If they don’t comply, when Homan does find them, they’ll be hit with fines and jail time, then be deported.

The general idea that President Trump is trying to get across to them is that it’s much simpler to leave the country voluntarily before they’re rounded up and herded out.

President Trump is now enforcing a law which is already on the books.

Since 1940

The idea isn’t a new one issued by executive order. “Federal immigration law has long required that people living illegally in the U.S. register with the government.” The concept started with “the Alien Registration Act of 1940.”

Back then, officials were concerned about “political subversives in the early days of World War II.” Now we’re worried about Islamic terrorists in the early days of World War III.

The current version of the requirements were crafted in “the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.” The concept was expanded after the September 11, 2001 terror attack on the World Trade Center.

If they don’t they’ll go to jail.

“The National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, required all non-citizen males age 16 or older from 25 countries – all but one of them majority Arab or Muslim – to register with the U.S. government.”

Even though it’s on the books, nobody paid any attention to it. “The Trump administration will enforce all our immigration laws – we will not pick and choose which laws we will enforce.”
