Living With Hope and Power

I absolutely LOVE Romans 8 in the Bible! There is so much power in God's truth & promises for those that have accepted Him and chosen to live their lives for Him!  This passage truly portrays what it means to live in the Spirit and not of ourselves....for every decision we make to be made through God's heart and not our own humanly desires. Along with that, there is so much comfort in knowing that we do not need to live a life of fear, doubt or negativity, but instead live a promising life of HOPE.  28"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." 31"If God is for us, who can be against us?" 35"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or sword?" 37"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." 38"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." So if God is completely for us and we are more than conquerors through Him, then why do we choose to live timidly with fear and doubt?  Why do we not take hold of His promises over our lives and trust in the POWER and HOPE that we have in Him?
