Fear

Fear.


Fear of commitment
Fear of regret
Fear of choosing the wrong person
Fear of loving the wrong person
Fear of losing someone
Fear of messing up
Fear of death
Fear of letting people down
Fear of failure
Fear of being wrong
Fear of being exposed
Fear of the truth
Fear of rejection
Fear of being lied to
Fear of being ignored
Fear of being mediocre
Fear of being in debt
Fear of losing your job
Fear of exhaustion
Fear of friends growing apart
Fear of not being good enough
Fear of abuse
Fear of the past
Fear of the present
Fear of the future
Fear of a deep desire never being fulfilled
Fear of God saying no
Fear of satan
Fear of spiritual warfare
Fear of wasting life away
Fear of leading
Fear of being an example
Fear of divorce
Fear of sickness
Fear of loneliness


There are plenty of things to be feared in this world. And rightly so. But God is above that all. He is in it all. Yes, some of those things happen to us or we act fearful at times in life, but I think your reaction to that fear is what makes a difference. It takes trusting God, turning to Him for peace, giving things up to Him, constantly searching for ways to be thankful, and not letting fear paralyze us. There is freedom in the Lord. He breaks every chain. Nothing is impossible for Him. He has conquered death. He has created everything, and therefore has a say over everything. What a mighty God we serve.
