Confidence comes from putting yourself out there and stepping outside of your comfort zone despite being scared. If you wait for confidence to precede the action, you’ll be waiting for ever. Moving from fear to faith is what is going to carry you through. Realizing that the fears created in your mind are there to protect you and keep you in your comfort zone, is how you change your perspective.
you got excited? like every time you got that familiar, gut-sinking, what-if-this-doesn't-happen feeling, you boldly reminded yourself it already did happen? and that where you go in imagination you must go in the flesh, too? what if you imagined, in that moment of fear, you were hiking with your best friend, who happens to know and consciously apply the law, too, and instead of dwelling in doubt and worry and stress the two of you walked to the edge of the nearest cliff overlooking the rivers and pines and cumulus clouds and you yelled. together, you yelled, "it already happened! it is already mine!" as loud as you could. and you felt all that energy rise from your gut through your chest through your throat out your mouth into air and as you let it go into air you laughed and hugged and felt the most profound sense of relief and joy and wonder and awe and gratitude because you knew it was enough, to be here on earth with your best friend at all, but you knew, too, this wasn't all. that there really was--there really is--so much good to come. that what you have within your mind's eye and in your heart must express, that it will, in the exact right moment, in the exact right "now," and how wonderful to know, to feel, deep in your bones in your nerves in your muscles in your cells, you already have it now.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
No matter what you're facing today, remember this: God's love surrounds you. He's with you, always.
The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; Deuteronomy 1:30
Many people have found themselves paralysed by fear of a task or challenge that lies ahead of them. Each time they think about it, it gets bigger in their mind's eye, and they feel smaller. Even though God has enabled them to overcome in the past, they are having difficulty believing he will help them now.
The Israelites experienced this when it came time to go into the promised land. After spying out the land, ten of the twelve men sent brought back a negative report to the extent that the people refused to believe God's promise to be with them, despite all he had done for them up to that time. As a result, it was 40 years before they entered the promised land.
Do not let fear cause you to miss your blessing. God is faithful. He is with you and will never leave or forsake you!
