Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

In what way has fear held you back from the greater things? 

What has God been calling you to do that you haven’t done yet? What’s keeping you from obedience?

Fear not the storms ahead, for the One who calms the sea is with you. 

He has great things prepared to show you, to grow you, and to do in you and all around you. But you’ll never experience those treasures, unless you pull up that fear-anchor that’s kept you stagnant, open up the sails of your heart, and invite the Spirit to move you. 

True joy is only found in obedience. Let Truth Himself set you free*.

Lord, in what ways has fear held me back from more of You? What have You been calling me to do that I haven’t done yet? What has kept me from obedience? Show me, Father. Your Word says over and over, “Do not fear,” and yet I do. Please set me free from my fears. Show them clearly to me and topple every lie with Your truth. Pull up my fear-anchor that’s tied me to this place where I think I’m safe but I’m not. And fill me with Your Spirit, blowing me in Your directions. Teach me to spread out the sails of my heart to catch every word Your say, every movement of Your hand across the waters, every direction You’re leading. I want to go where You’re going and do what You’re doing. Move me, Lord. Long have I been stagnant. It’s time for me to set sail into the joy of obedience, into oneness with You.
