Yes! You can make fear your servant. Do you wonder how? I learnt this sometime back and it has really been useful in dealing with fears about the future.
You know what happens when fear is at work. You can almost hear voices in your head telling you all that could go wrong; they may not be audible but you get the message loud and clear. Then you begin to picture it, and your mind goes into overdrive… and you panic… or you get depressed… or you feel overwhelmed….
Well, here’s the good news: you can turn the tables in your favour! So when next those terrible suggestions come to mind, pick up a pen and your journal and begin to write them down. Commit them to God in prayer then settle down and analyse each point that was dictated to you by fear. Next, document the mitigation you already have in place to prevent those things from happening, then think about and also write down all the additional things you could do, including reaching out for help and guidance from the right sources.
Once your analysis is complete, develop an execution plan for the additional items that will give you the most significant benefit. You may not have the time or resources to do everything so focus on the most critical items.
By the way, you may have discovered already that fear is sometimes magnified because we are not aware of all the facts. Trying to figure it all out in your head can make the whole thing seem so complex and insurmountable. Just write it down. Demystify it. Make it plain, easy to see… easy to solve.
So simple, yet so true – you can use fear to your advantage.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were going to experience a major change? Can you recall the feelings and emotions you had to deal with? You know sometimes you find yourself awake at night, unusually unable to sleep, because although your body needs to rest, your mind goes into overdrive trying to figure things out and make sense of the unknown. You find yourself unconsciously doing what we know to do best – WORRY!
Well here are a few things to keep in mind that’ll enable you go to sleep. First of all, you did not bring yourself into existence. Every wise manufacturer has a plan for his product and your Creator isn’t any different. He is watching over you to ensure that His plan is fulfilled in your life and He has the power to make it happen so DO NOT WORRY!
Just in case you’re wondering where His plan will lead, find peace in knowing that He intends to make you prosper and means you no harm. He plans to give you hope and a good future. Your role is to trust in Him with all your heart and submit to Him in all your ways. Then He will direct your path. Don’t try to figure everything out on your own. Help is available.
Now for those worries, here’s what to do with them. Capture each one and use them as bullet points as you engage the Creator for direction. Let Him show you what to do about them and give you complete peace as you make your transition.
