Fear Of Failure

Philippians 4:6 “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” ~CSB

It is so easy for us to allow situations and ‘happenings’ in this world to affect our thoughts. Especially when it comes to us worrying and doubting our chances in our circumstances. For instance, we may wake up in the morning with God’s promises on our minds. But the first social media post we see about the negativity in this world, we allow the 'fear of failure' in our hearts. Someone or something may remind us of our struggles. Trials such as health, family, or bills that are due. These distractions result in our joy and peace being snatched from us as a result of this ‘fear of failure’ in our hearts. 

We must not forget that there is a debt, that we ‘were’ accountable for, that we couldn't pay. And we were more accountable for that debt than any we may have established with man. Jesus paid that debt for us. We are saved by grace and mercy by a powerful God Who loves us so much. It is because we are His children that our Father, in heaven, will take care of us. He says it in His word, not to worry about anything. In everything, through prayer to Him, (which includes His will in our situation), God will make a way out of ‘no way’. 

With the thanksgiving in our hearts for Jesus Christ, we present our requests to God. This request will be the spiritual seeds invested in the harvest of that abundant blessing God already has established for us. When we get rid of worry and increase our prayers in thanksgiving, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)

May God continue to bless you all under His protection, healing, wisdom and peace as you journey in Jesus' name.

Amen
