Do You Fear?

Posted January 18th, 2010 by MamaArcher 4 Comments »

I find that fear is a constant battle for me.  I tend to worry about so many things that I shouldn’t.  I fully acknowledge that this is a major weakness.  It is one that can only be overcome by the working of the Lord in my life.  I need to continually seek him for healing from fear.  I came across a quote today that slapped me upside the head!  It is something I already knew but when you come face to face with the bare bones of the issue it often makes your head spin.

Our fears are grounded in either a failure to believe in God’s strength or a failure to believe His gospel. — RC Sproul Jr

Lord,

I praise you Lord, Creator of all, You are God!  Mold me into your image, may I be surrendered, softened, and easy to mold.  Cleanse me, heal me, create in me a clean heart, one that is absent of fear and clings to you.  I know that worry can not add a single day so let me not waste the ones you have given.  Draw me closer to you that I may never fail to believe and rely upon you.  Remove my self-reliant tendencies.  May you be glorified in my life!

Amen

    Yes, I do fear God. He has given us a beautiful life and we should be grateful to Him.

    @The Great Outdoors, A healthy fear of the Lord is not really what this is addressing. I too have a healthy fear of the Lord, he is the Sovereign Creator, Holy, Pure, Lord Almighty. This refers mostly to fear/worry that comes from not resting in the Lord and not trusting his ways.

    Thanks for your comment and pointing us to and reminding us of that healthy fear of the Lord.
