Confronting Your Fears 1

Job3v25-26 ‘V25-For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. V26-I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.’

Fear is an enemy we need to confront if we want to fulfil our destiny and succeed in life. Those who never confront their fears will never accomplish their potential. Your fears can harm or hurt you if you allow them. This is what happened to Job in our Text scripture (Job3v25-26). He opened the door to the enemy through his fears. This was why Satan was able to wreak havoc in his home and business. My dear reader, if you refuse to confront your fears, then your fears will continue to dominate and control your life. Your fears can either limit or challenge you! It depends on the posture and attitude that you take. So my dear brothers and sisters, make up your mind today that you will begin to confront your fears.

As I have even discovered that everyone has one form of fear, worry or insecurities or the other but those who rise up in life are those who confront their fears.
So what are your fears, worries or insecurities? Whatever it is, you need to confront it headlong and courageously. From my experience of counseling and dealing with people, I have been able to observe the following kind of fears among people generally:

-Not being good enough, not beautiful enough, not well connected, being from a disadvantaged area or background, being poor, not talented enough, nobody likes me, I’m lonely, fear of rejection or failing, fear of the future or the dark, fear of people etc.
This is not an exhaustive list, but whatever your fears or insecurities are, it’s time to deal with them before they start dealing with you. So if you are ready for this, get on it immediately. Start looking at your fears in the face from today. Start dealing with your fears today before it’ starts dealing with you.
