Fears

One of the things that keeps us from being the men that God designed and desires us to be is FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of loosing control, fear of what others will think of us, fear of the unknown, fear of . .you name it.

Fear in and of itself is not bad. Fears can be a source of drive for us. Fear can move us forward. It’s when our fears control us that we stop becoming the men God designed and desires us to be. Why? Because its then when we start listening to our fears instead of listening to God. And who we listen to determines our perspective. If we are listening to our fears we see things from an ungodly perspective. As opposed to listening to God and having a godly perspective.

For me it’s the fear of failure and fear of loosing control. At times I fear that people around me aren’t happy. Being the oldest child of an alcoholic I grew up wanting to make sure everyone was alright. . .happy, so, at times I fear people around me aren’t happy and I have to make things right with everyone rather than listening to God.

These are my fears. What are your fears? What keeps you from being the man God designed and desires you to be?
