Two days ago I had to confront one of my biggest fears though for the first time in my life I knew I was not facing it alone. I knew this was my time to go out and conquer the world, time for change, time for action. In the mist of it I saw the hand of God guiding me through it and even though panic was knocking on my door I didn't let it in. Believe me, you guys out there that understand this kind of fear/panic and those that don't, it can blind you to the point of not knowing what to do even if you have the answer right infront of you.
The Lord told me:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
I understood God was speaking to me that day, and not only that, I saw this promise in action while I was facing the monster.
There's always a time to face your monsters, not when other people tell you to face them but when the Lord tells you to. People that doesn't understand your chains will always underestimate you and will always try to diminish what you're going through but God understands, He knows what you go through and if you let Him come into your life He will organize it and help you change your perspective, cause its all in the mind. Layer by layer bracking chains off of you and making you free. It takes time, it takes you to surrender everyday and and be willing to give up all areas of your life to God so He can substitude fear with Love. It works
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17
"I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears" Psalms 34:4
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36
