Fear of the Unknown

What brings about the "UNKNOWN"? Change. Why do we fear the unknown? Because we don't know the end result. Life happens, and when it does sometimes, we get scared! Let's just be real about it.

You may say to yourself that you're not afraid, but your actions say something totally different. We fear being alone after being in a relationship/marriage for so long. We fear what's going to happen next when divorce causes a shift in our finances, our interaction with friends or people we know, our relationship with our children. We fear how we will move forward in our lives after a 'falling out' with a family member. We fear how our lives will be after a job change or loss. These are just some examples.

Think about a time where something changed in your life. We don't even have to think about something as drastic as a death. What did you do? How did you respond? I've been afraid before. But I am no longer afraid! When I sat down to start my day yesterday, I continued to hear in my spirit "Greater is He who is within me". Before I knew it, I began speaking it out of my mouth.

I want to encourage you, my friends, to not be afraid. When you find yourself in a place where you're scared about what's going to happen next, pray. Pray to the Father for direction and comfort. Pray aloud scriptures, such as Psalm 23 and Psalm 27, and speak peace to your situation. The unknown is just that...unknown. Though we may not know what it brings, we have to trust that He does. :)

FEAR...false evidence appearing real. Don't let it cause you to miss what's in store for you. Step out. Move forward. Don't look back. Trust that He who started that great work in you is faithful and just to complete it (Philippians 1:6).

Be blessed!
