For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Day 4 of Daniel Fast Today God showed me how I have let fear hold me back. Since I have been living in fear I quit moving forward in faith and stopped walking through open doors God has put in my path. I get so paralyzed with fear I won’t even take the first step. This is crippling me, tearing at my identity and passion for life. I didn’t realize that fear has gripped me in this way. I thought I was just tired of the roller coaster of life, Today was a big wake up call on how I quit fighting. Its the fight in me that has given me so much life, to seek God with my whole heart, and to move forward despite the outcome. I need to remember who I was before fear settled in and get reacquainted with that part of me! My prayer is that I will identify my fears, walk through them and lay them to rest. I want to become that woman who had fight, zeal, tenacity, and endurance. Lord guide and direct me as we work on this together. I will then believe when I sing I am No Longer A Slave to Fear, I Am A Child of God.
