Are you listening to your fears?

Fear can overwhelm you. Fear can consume your every thought. Fear can be real or imagined.

Fear is a choice. To be fearful of an angry dog growling and running toward you is a normal reaction.

The imagined kind of fear has spiritiual roots.

There are usually three voices causing your thoughts: God, yourself and satan.

God is watching over you, so don’t listen to your fears. Trust God, and don’t give into your fears.

Easier said than done, right?

I’ve found that when I fear something that I know is going to happen, I silently say, “God, I can’t do this on my own, but I know you can.”

I had a lot of fear in my earlier years, speaking in front of others. As studies show, speaking in Public is the #1 fear of most people.

But as I grew as a Christian, I learned to not put all the pressure on myself. I found that talking to God about it and letting Him take control, lessened my fears.

Your fears reveal when you do not trust God.

And most importantly, EXPECT God to start helping you learn to trust Him with each fear.

2 Corinthians 1:10 - “He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.”
