Fear

  BLOG

This week I was reminded of how much of life is really out of our control. Yet, we plan, as we should. In planning, we often just think of the big things; vacations, large family gatherings or events, all that is required for larger purchases, etc. I wonder how aware we are of the “mini” plans we make every day?

What first comes to mind when you hear the word fear? You are likely bringing to mind things you had watched/heard in some form of media, maybe a personal experience yourself, or the experience of being around young people when they’re afraid. And you could in turn spend hours sharing such stories. I wonder how you would describe that fear in specific detail?

I frequently use the question “what did/do you want?” to draw out the hearts of others. And most importantly, I use it on myself for self-evaluation in times of anger, fear, despair, etc. I shouldn’t be surprised when the Lord uses this question to reveal answers I was not expecting

Have you ever faced a challenge or big decision and thought, “This would be so much easier if God would just send me a letter with the answer” ?  We all have. Well, the good news is… He has!
