Sometimes, fear does get in our heads and in our way. The fear of failure, the fear of the unknown, and the doubt that we are incapable of success may block our progress. We will miss many opportunities if we listen to that negative voice. What does God say?
Joshua 1:9 was one of my go-to verses when my 37-year marriage dissolved. I was afraid, and I was anything but courageous. God has helped me with the fear and uncertainty and continues to hold me daily, and for that, I am thankful.
Overcoming our fears may be easier said than done, and I believe it is a process. I think to strengthen our faith, we must practice our faith. For me, this meant giving my fears to God over and over again as they continued to rear their ugly heads. Yes, our concerns may still exist, but if we continue to place them in God’s hands, we can overcome them to the extent that we do not let them paralyze us.
