A Confession of Fear and the Father’s Consolation
I am so afraid, it’s paralyzing.
I feel like at any moment I am going to explode, I am going to break down.
I can’t handle this weight.
I don’t even know what this weight is— well…
It’s fear. I feel the weight of fear and I don’t know how to cope.
I didn’t know I was afraid, I admitted my fear, and now you are continuing to unravel the depths of the fear in my heart.
Please God, help me! Deliver me from fear.
I keep going to try to numb this fear but to no avail.
Father, help me!
How do I let go of this fear?
Wait on me.
Beloved, you are too impatient. You must learn to wait.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
You are restless. You need to be still.
How do I slow down when all I can feel and see and sense is the weight of fear?
Look at me.
How do I look at you?
Read My Word.
Beloved, read My Word and meditate on who I am until the fear dissipates. I promise you it will go. Discipline your mind to look at me in My Word.
My Word is the antecdote to your fear.
