On Life’s Journey: Examining Your Fears
What are you afraid of? Think of the big things: Trouble with finances? Making a serious mistake at work or school? A serious health problem? The political situation? Think of the smaller things: What will people think of me: my appearance, my ideas, my posts on social media? What if I’m late? What if I say something stupid? There are countless big and small fears.
How do your fears affect your thoughts? Emotions? Behavior? In examining your fears, you may be surprised at how many and how often your fears affect your life. Becoming aware of them and facing them can help relieve you of the burden fear imposes, and free you to pour your energy into what you truly want to do think, feel and do, and to be open to who you truly are: a loving person unconditionally loved by God. Turn your fears over to God and surrender. Nothing is too big or small for God to want to answer.
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4
