If you don’t step out in faith, you will forever live your life in fear. I said this to somebody one day as I was trying to encourage them to do something. This person was afraid because they might fail. So what if you failed? At least you tried. That’s the point I wanted to get across, you have to try. If I hadn’t got up one day and started writing for the blog, I know I would still be thinking about it and it would still be a dream. Go beyond the dream and step out in faith.
What’s on the other side of fear? It might well be success. Mind you it should be success as defined by you. It can’t be that of others. As is said, you might be considered successful but not happy and happy and therefore successful. It has to be what you want and think your success should be. But if you are fearful there will be no happiness and thus no success.
Again fear can totally paralyze you and you will never move from the position you have put yourself in. Remember nobody can move you but you. No one can overcome the fear but you. Persons can help you by pointing you in the right direction but only you can take the steps. Stepping out of your comfort zone is not easy but how else will you grow? If you don’t try then how will you know what you can do?
Have you ever stepped out in faith, ignoring the fear? What happened? How did you feel and what happened? Would you do it again? Would you encourage others? Or on the other hand are you so fearful that you can’t step out? What is holding you back? Why not try?
I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife.

I will step out in faith!
Amen.
Fear! It’s a natural reaction in any human being. Even the brave feels fear at some point in life… but at the end of it all the brave will be brave enough to step out. No one likes to fail… but we must realize that it is our failures that build us. The test brings the testimony. I believe that if we embrace that fact then we will step out. I appreciate that some are stronger than some so it is easier said than done.
What amazes me is that we are made in the image and likeness of God! The Most High God! Since that is so, what characteristics should we have???? HE is Mighty conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah and that is the image we were made in!!!!!! Process that seriously! Do we realize who we are???? So keep that in mind and know that HE has our back!!! So there is no need to fear.
Hide in your heart Deuteronomy 31:6 and have a fearless day tomorrow and all your tomorrows.
As long as we step out that is the main thing. If we don’t it will hold us. As you said we are made in the image and likeness of God, who or what shall we fear.
Step out in faith and know s/he will be there with us. #believe.
I hear lots of persons refer to God and Faith when confronting fear, unfortunately, that’s not my method. I take a more pragmatic approach, I love to swim in the ocean but I terrified of sharks so instead of staying out of the ocean I learn everything I can about them and how to protect myself. I do believe in faith but I also believe God gave us a brain for a reason as well. Knowlege is my defence from fear.
I like this. Never thought of it like that. So as long as you have the knowledge and understanding of what you fear you can overcome it.
I like it.
I always have to remind myself that the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of love, power and a sound mind. So whenever am overcome with fear, I kept repeating those words. I also try to encourage others to do likewise.
This is fantastic. Hope more persons think the way you do.
