Fear

Fear
September 4, 2004

For so many years my life was full of fear. I was fearful of almost all aspects of life in one way or another. It showed itself through stress, worry and low self-esteem. I could go on and on. It was not until God had my life that my fears started to go away.

Fear can stop us in our tracks if we let Satan continue to use it against us. I see so many people with fears overpowering their love of God. This must stop! We cannot let fear steal our joy and peace. God will help if you truly want him to.

To get help from fear we must truly let God have and change our hearts until it is what He wants it to be. This is not easy. It can be difficult to get through but when He's done we are much better off. We will have more peace and joy in our lives.

I asked God to change my heart and He did. It was not overnight, but as I look back I can see the path He led me on to find peace in my life. Each of us has different struggles that God will work on during this time of change. Trust Him and let Him work. It will change your life forever!

Do I still struggle with fear? Yes. Just recently I started to feel fear in my life again. I could not find the reason for this fear I felt. Then one day it came to me. I'm in fear of God's will in my life! Can you believe that, fear of God's will? It showed me that I was fighting what God might have in store for me. Sometimes doing God's will is not the easiest path for us. It might require us to yield and give up our wants and desires.

As soon as I saw this and submitted to Him my fear went away. Ask God to change your heart. Let Him take away your fears. He will, He loves you that much.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.' 2 Timothy 1:7.

Stay Strong in God,
