A Life Without Fear

A Life Without Fear

NET Bible Psalm 56: ³ when I am afraid, I trust in you. ⁴ In God—I boast in his promise. In God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?

Joshua 1:9 I repeat, be strong and brave! Don't be afraid and don't panic, for I, the LORD your God, am with you in all you do."

Fear is a habit, so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves," I can! And I will!"

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Today begins the rest of your life on the surface of the Earth, and it is a great opportunity you have got to still be present on this planet to decide and take actions to live the best life you have ever imagined and wished. Imagine living a life without fear, how sweet and precious would this be. Every man that has come and gone; those that came and are still here; and the ones that are to come while we are here and when we are gone, have definitely in them traces of fear flowing in their blood. Fear usually finds its way to man the moments we step out of our mother’s womb and it tend to grow with us, but for one to live a fulfilling and happy life, it is very important that you weed it out and set yourself free from its claws.

To set yourself free from the claws of fear you have to eliminate the habits of fear-based thinking. Maybe you fear what people think about you, failure or rejection, opposition or defeat, sickness or death, and you just fear that you are imperfect and you don’t feel loved. You have been so troubled by lack of confidence in yourself and even fear the unknown. You don’t value the God-given gifts, talents, potential, ability and strength you possess, you consider them all worthless. And every time you keep asking why me? Because you believe you are the only and single person on surface of the Earth who seems to be threatened by challenges and trials of life. Don’t be surprised to know that everyone you see that have happiness and have their life looking beautiful, do not just have this sweet life you seem to admire and desire on a platter of gold, they stood up to confront, challenge and overcome their fear and yes! They are in control of their life.

No wonder Les brown said and I quote “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears”.

If it is still unknown to you, I am glad to let you know that wherever fear is allowed and housed, happiness is always found wanting there. You can only fulfill your dreams, realize your vision, utilize your God-given gift, talent, potentials and abilities, showcase the hidden treasure in your life and let the glory of God to manifest if you live a life that fear has no dominion. You don’t have to let fear choose your destiny. You are the only driver of your life and fear has got no right and authority to determine the direction of your life and what happens to you.

Know this that fear is a never-retiring and strong enemy of man that would stop at nothing to attack man in every single activities they are involved in 24/7 for the whole 365 days we have in a year. Don’t you know that it is a great joy for fear itself to see that you keep mute and voiceless, still and just be dead because the target of fear is that you are overpowered and become useless to yourself and to the World? The goal and assignment of fear is to make you waste this precious life you have got so that you make nothing meaningful out of it.

You have got to be determined never to allow fear or give it a slim chance to alter your plans, purpose, dreams, vision, pursuit, freedom, joy and happiness on daily basis. Believe you can do this and you will, I see you living the life of your dream that you have long desired. Remember fear is faith that it won’t work out, you can achieve whatever you set your mind to do.

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom. ~Mary Ferguson

There are four ways you can handle fear. You can go over it, under it, or around it. But if you are ever to put fear behind you, you must walk straight through it. Once you put fear behind you. Leave it there. ~Donna Favors

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson ‘’Always do what you are afraid to do’’ This may sound too pushy for you and right there in your mind you just say he doesn’t know or understand my situation but if I must be truthful to you, the only way to bail yourself out of the prison you are kept in and gain freedom from your jailer (FEAR), is to begin to do those things you dread and scared to do. Talk when you want to talk; act when you want to act; ask when you want to ask; laugh when you want to laugh, my friend do whatsoever positive thing you want when you want and should. This is the only way you can live a life of your dream full of happiness and fulfilment ‘’A Life Without Fear!’’

I want you to digest the quotes below:

Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.  ---Max Lucado

Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.  ~Brendan Francis
