The topic of “fear” has been on my mind lately. Why? My New Years resolution was to find out what’s holding me back from life, what’s causing me to be so indecisive, what’s keeping me from living my best life. After a few months now of prayer, meditation and reading my bible, I’m realizing that fear seems to be my problem.

So what am I afraid of?

Apparently everything. When I simply think about moving from my home, leaving my job (I’m not), going back to school, performing on stage, taking a trip, kids graduating and moving on and a hundred other things, I immediately run through a whole scenario of why none of those things should happen or could happen. I start to worry about bills, I worry that I won’t be good enough, thin enough, smart enough, prepared enough. The list goes on and on.

Does this happen to you too? I’ve never really had a confidence problem until recently. Now that I know what the problem is I’ll be fighting it because I don’t like being afraid. I like to do and go and forge new paths for my life. I know that will take more prayer and reading my bible.

Why am I telling you this?

I want you to know that you’re not alone. Fear is not new, it doesn’t just apply to me, we’re all afraid of something. I was afraid to write this, but felt God’s nudge to do so. What are you afraid of? How will you get over your fear? Those are questions only you can answer, but through prayer and seeking you can do it. We both can.
