The Fear...

The fear of the unknown. The fear of uncertainty. The fear of failure. The fear of survival. No matter our walk with God we all face the fearfulness of life. The fear of the "what ifs". Stepping out in faith for me has never been easy. Something I struggle with is change. If things change...can I handle it? "For God did not give us a spirit of fearfulness..." Then why am I fearful? "...But one of power, love and self-discipline" 2 Timothy 1:7. I trust Him. I follow Him. So why does this fear follow me? Convincing myself daily to live FOR Christ and not in fear of this world isn't easy. To know that He has created me for so much more than fear. Fear cannot control my life if I am longing for a close relationship with my Heavenly Father. I have to turn it over to Him. I have to lay the worries, the burden, the fear at His feet. But,I have to trust that He has control. He knows them each. I don't walk this crazy life alone because He carries me! He carries you! My only strength comes from Him. The grace that he gives is unlike any other. The love that he shows as has is unlike any other. Just know that you can lift your eyes to Him. He will comfort. He will carry you. He is the light in this dark world!
