Afraid


Afraid

Our hearts are gripped with fear.
We make choices while being grasped.
Often times, we make choices not to make choices.
Satan lures, pressures, confuses, and tells us we’re weak.

What are we afraid of?
Maybe it’s a grade that counts more than we truly want to express.
Maybe it’s how we will be perceived. I really dislike that word.
Maybe it’s fear of rejection.
Sometimes our safe little bubble of no rejection is worse than the actual facing of the rejection and learning from it.

What are we afraid of?
Is our past so full of disappointments that we can’t see hope?
Are we afraid that our life will be changed drastically?
Would that be so bad?

Our hearts are gripped with fear.
Our humanness is sucking God’s amazing plan right out of us.
Yielding control to the God of control shouldn’t be so hard.
God, please help us not to be afraid, but to trust in you.



“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
