Brandon Lake & Chandler Moore (Maverick City Music) “Fear Is Not My Future” Share Worthy Song

“Fear is not my future, You are. Sickness is not my story, You are.” Those words weren’t written to sound poetic—they were written as a declaration, a breaking of agreements with things that try to define us. Brandon Lake first released this song with Chandler Moore on his album Help! in 2022, and it later became a centerpiece of Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin’s Kingdom Book One project. The heart of the song is simple but weighty: stop accepting fear, sickness, heartbreak, or even death as your permanent address, and start prophesying peace, joy, and love instead.

That’s why this song hits me. I know what it’s like to feel like certain seasons will never end, like the weight you’re carrying is just “your lot in life.” But this song reminds me that God’s Word says otherwise. Jesus Himself declared: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). That’s not a vague promise—it’s a direct confrontation with the lies that try to tell us fear is forever.

I’ve seen this in my own story. There were times I thought the shadows would always follow me, that the past had the final word. But God kept showing me that His mercy is stronger than my history. That’s why I connect with the line, “Goodbye fear, goodbye guilt, goodbye shame.” It’s not just lyrics—it’s testimony. It’s the same truth Paul wrote about: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7).

And here’s the deeper invitation: this song isn’t just about saying goodbye to fear—it’s about saying hello to the new horizon God is opening. Isaiah prophesied it long ago: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19). That’s the heartbeat of “Fear Is Not My Future.” It’s not denial of reality—it’s the announcement of a greater one.

So let this song be more than a chorus you hum. Let it be your declaration. Speak it over your life, your family, your future. Share it with someone who needs to be reminded that fear doesn’t get the last word. Now is the time to say goodbye to the grave and hello to the God who makes all things new.
