Living in Fear

There are many people living in FEAR each day!  Is it Fear of the unknown; of job loss; of not being able to keep up the pace of friends;  or not being able to have the same material things or social life of your peers; not being sought after by someone you are attracted to; driving on freeways; driving after dark; and over eating, to name a few?  Is it you?  Are you living in fear or doubt about many facets of your life? 

 An acronym for fear is:  False Evidence Appearing Real.

 Sometimes we create fear in our minds when we are preoccupied with the challenges of others through social media, the news, hear say, witnessing a cruel act upon someone, etc.  Whatever the means for acquiring a fearful mindset, it can stop us in our tracks and prevent us from being productive, healthy, moving forward with daily living and blaming others for our failed choices.

 Often, we blame satan for our fear or doubt.  That is exactly what satan wants us to do so we can be controlled by this evil force.  Yes, satan can be responsible for some bad things that happen to good people, however it could be our life choices as well.  Satan allows and causes terrible things to happen in our lives so our lives will not follow the plan that God has for us...a plan for good and not evil....a plan of hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).  Please stop operating and living in fear!  We are children of God, so start living like it!  Pray, seek wisdom from the scriptures and meditate on God’s Word, then take the most important step...take action...start today...just do it!

 The fear of abuse can only be removed by the power of God.  There is great potential for those who believe in the one true God.  Let’s unlock our past abuse, past disappointments, past dreams, past history, so God can wipe our slates clean.  Pray for wisdom and discernment and shake the old crud and move forward.  God will anoint each believer with God’s power to bring forth new life from deep inside.  Let go!  Let God do a new thing in our lives.  Let go and please trust God!  The plan of hope for our futures is available to all!
