fear

The question you__l need to ask yourself as your heart is filled with fear is: __o you know God__ heart?_ Do you know Him that intimately? Do you trust Him with all of your heart, instead of leaning unto your own understanding? Most of us don__, especially when life is falling apart at the seams. If you want to know God__ heart, if you want to trust Him and have the kind of peace that comes with that, you__e going to have to read His word. The Bible is His voice and it reveals His character.

The changes we make in life often happen when we have a degree of certainty. However, the pain of our past failures and the fears of our peers often fuel our uncertainty. This inability to predict the future is why people find themselves stuck and unable to move forward. They don't want to feel the emotions of failure. They prefer to talk themselves into settling for an "okay" life, rather than the life they really want. However, failure is a matter of perspective! Is it not failure when you don't take a chance on the one thing you need? There is no happiness in regret, staying safe or settling for anything less than what you can have through action.

Sometimes you can't speak, not because others won't let you, but because you are afraid of what you'll say.

The only way to find peace is to face the unknown and trust that God has heard your tears.

There is a gap between what we know and what we want to experience. Either, fear will keep us tethered to the familiar or plung us into the sea. The bridge is either God or ourselves, and with each big decision we must choose who we trust the most.

Trust your gut, and don't let fear get the best of you.

Trust your fears. When a quiet voice whispers, "you are being used", listen. Ignore your baser desires.

It was a test of a fragile trust. It was a test of our curiosity and fascination, which walked side by side with our fear. A test of whether we preferred to be ignorant or unsafe.

Numb the dark and you numb the light.

In the darkness, fear my light.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

I used to be afraid of the dark until I learned that I am light and the dark is afraid of me.

Heaven . . . is the same feeling. . . . No fear. No dark. When you know you are loved . . . that__ the light.

Science . . . has opened our eyes to the vastness of the universe and given us light, truth and freedom from fear where once was darkness, ignorance and superstition. There is no personal salvation, except through science.

Vulnerability really means to be strong and secure enough within yourself that you are able to walk outside without your armor on. You are able to show up in life as just you. That is genuine strength and courage. Armor may look tough, but all it does is mask insecurity and fear.
