My fear is that I will fail.
Failure looks different at different stages of my life. maybe we can't pay our bills. I sometimes worry about failing as a parent. I fear that my crochet isn't cute enough, or that I'm not personable enough, won't learn quick enough, and on and on it can go.
Always, the real fear is that I will find out that I am not good enough.
The truth: I am a child of God. I am the creation of a wonderfully perfect being. He is endlessly creative, powerful, knowledgeable, and loving.
He has given me gifts and talents. None of them are perfect, but all of them are mine, gifts he gave me to use on the earth. To better my life and the lives of others.
It doesn't matter if I fail. And I will sometimes, thanks for that reminder Holley. What matters is that I pick myself up and keep moving forward (thanks Disney).
You nailed so many of my own fears right on the head! It seems that every area of our life is susceptible to fear. So glad God tells us the truth ourselves so we can combat the lies of fear with His truth! Bless you this week as you face these fears with the truth of God!
