I am struggling though. Struggling with fear. We are not supposed to live in fear. However, every time I am about to fly - something just overtakes me. The enemy knows how to assail me that is for sure. I can't stop thinking about all the what ifs and my mind is bombarded with things that could go wrong.
Job 39:22
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
2Timothy 1:7
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword.

I have to cling to these promises that God gives me. I have to listen, obey, and be sanctified to be more like Jesus so I won't fear this life. I have to yield my heart, mind, and soul to the Holy Spirit so I don't give in to lies.

If you desire to cultivate a heart of thankfulness & are willing to try it for 31 days (give or take - there is always grace here) - post a comment during any of my posts that relate to thankfulness. I will send you a gift at the end to show my thankfulness for you. If you are curious what the JOB is read my post here.
Thank you for posting this Megan! I woke up this morning with a lot of fear and worry in my heart and this is exactly what I needed to hear. And I completely relate to the fear associated with flying. My dad is a pilot and whenever we flew with him I was significantly less fearful because I knew my dad was flying the plane and I trusted him. My fear significantly loses it's power when I relate that to my heavenly Dad and I can rest assured that He is in control and He is all together good and trustworthy. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteOh Meg I am right there with you! I love you and will be praying for you. I prayed the whole time while flying and it helped a lot!
