Fearless Friday #16
I'm not feeling very fearless today, so maybe I can ride along on the fearlessness of others . . . what do you do to combat the looming shadow of fear in your life? Leave me a comment and let me know.
Here's to a fearless and fun weekend!

Peach, I'm sorry this is a hard day for you. I believe fear is a tool of the devil and when I feel afraid, I try to remember all the times God has not failed me. Then I take as my mantra "God is in control." Blessings to you today, Friend.
I know the feeling Peach. I'm sorry you are feeling that way today. When fear fills my heart I call to mind all the promises of God and remind myself of God's character and His love for me and for those most dear to me. I find praising Him somehow encourages my heart and brings a sense of His peace.
I pray the God of all comfort will fill you with His peace today.
Ex 14:14 "God will fight for you. You need only to be still." That helps me when I'm afraid. Also letting others know that I need help so that they can pray for me helps a lot too. I'm praying for you, Peach.
Not so long ago I heard that your mind can not be fearful and praising at the same time. It's impossible.
I grabbed that fact and ran with it. Everytime I am feeling fearful, I make myself begin being thankful and praising God even if I don't feel like it.
I also made myself memorize Phil. 4: 4-9. I start reciting it repeatedly in my fear as well.
I'll be praying for you dear friend!
My life has a great number of challenges (therefore fears) littering the path I am on. Mountains like Everest in fact. I have learnt to train my mind to be thankful, so every morning, as I wake, I lie there and list 5 things I am thankful for. They can be mundane or huge, but whatever, it is becoming very hard to be fearful when you have a smile in your heart of thanks for the great blessings you have. And I keep reminding myself that God has said that He has great plans for me that will prosper me and not harm me. So all I can do is surrender to that and trust. Hope that helps.
We walk together through this my friend! I've been listening to a Joy Williams song over and over again. It's called "Unafraid". Sometimes God speaks to me through a song, and this one has been my mantra the past week or two. Feeling your pain...loving you from afar! ;)
Peach,
Just reading all the wonderful comments left here have helped me deal with fear today! I just hate my crazy hormones, they really can make the fears and worry worse! But thank God for His word and the constant reminder of the big picture of why we live this life.
And I love listening to that Matt Redman song, Never Let Go, when ever I worry/fear.
May God continue to Never let YOU go!
Thank y'all so much for all your fabulous comments. I am not nearly as afraid this week, and I am clinging to the truths you've all shared.
What a blessing to walk with so many of you dear ladies.
Hey, Peach! I am not feeling to fearless today either! You know that happens sometimes when God does a great thing and you get excited about that thing and then Satan starts with his mess! :O) Thanks for your post on my site! I really appreciate them! You are such an encourager! Keep it up! I always need it! We love you and your sweet family!

I sit and breathe slowly calling on Jesus, focusing ion him and trying to let the problem fade. When I get up I often feel different and have energy to face the task. Nice blog.
