Learning to fight fear with faith is an ongoing battle. But is it worth the fight?
“Most people base their entire life on what they are afraid of”
That quote has stuck in my mind through the years. I mean think about it. Can it really be true?
I believe it can..
Often I ask myself if I am living a life based on faith or fear.
Fear causes me to hold back instead of stepping out. Sometimes I react in fear and step out in the wrong direction.
If I don’t battle back, fear drips into all areas of my life.
Fear in my relationship with the Lord, my marriage or in parenting. Fear in homeschooling, within friendships, in ministry or business.
Now not all fear is a bad thing.
Fear (as in a godly reverence or respect) is actually a good thing in our relationship with the Lord.
But what I’m talking about isn’t that kind of fear. It ranges from the uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach to the pain in your chest, debilitating kind of fear.
Today I ask you to choose to fight back with faith against the fear.
And if this is a path you are familiar with, I want to encourage you to keep going.
But I have to keep it real friends
When I’m blessed to write on another amazing site, it’s written in advance. When that post is published, almost every time, God uses what I’ve already written to remind ME of something again.
So today I have the privilege of sharing with you FAITH VS. FEAR: IS IT WORTH THE FIGHT? Over on Blogs by Christian Women and yes, God is teaching me in the moment as I battle again
So I pray it encourages you where you are at today as you seek to win the battle of faith! Join me?
Talk to you soon!
