Topic: Conquering Fear

Fear generates episodes of laziness in our life because fear essentially freezes us in place. Over time, fear generates laziness where laziness becomes a habit then the laziness persists and becomes a lifestyle. There are many times when we experience fear. We can experience fear in the face of uncertainty. We can fear the judgment of God. We can fear a change in our lives. We can fear the discomfort of the new in the face of the comfort of the old. We are too often lazy in the face of fear because fear freezes us into inaction. To face our fear requires we build a new person within us, and to build a new person within us requires work and courage. We are frozen by fear because we fear we may not be able to handle the unknown. We are also frozen by fear because we fear we may change beyond what we are in the present. When we live in fear we are frozen in place in our life. In fear, we are never able to grasp the promise of life. To face our fear, we must have courage as a daily component of our life. We must have daily courage and challenge ourselves to face uncertainty and do what is uncertain with uncertain outcomes. We must have daily courage and understand there is no judgment of God if we seek His forgiveness and redemption while we are alive. We must have daily courage and make efforts to change our life even when we are afraid of making changes. We must have daily courage and replace the old with the new in our life. We must have daily courage and learn having courage is doing what we fear. We must have daily courage to learn our fear is 99% illusion. We must learn there is, in fact, nothing to fear at all. For after we have done what we fear, we most often learn our fear was groundless and our fear was just our imagination working against us.
