You do not need to be afraid. The Lord sees you. The Lord has shown me that He is our protector. God does not want us to struggle with fear. In my own life fear has been in my heart. Fear of failure and fear of man. I was always afraid of. What if I fail? what if everyone laughs at me? What if? What if? that was always on my mind. Then I began to see myself as God saw me. And what people thought and said began to fade away. I realized how special I was to Him. What people thought about me, my clothing, my house, my parents, how I talked etc. It did not matter because I was before a higher throne. And that was Heaven. I looked at myself how God saw me. Its easy to get caught up with. I don't look good. I am not beautiful. I am not thin. I do not have this. I wish I was more athletic. All that stuff began to clog up my mind. You will never look perfect you will never have every problem fixed but that is why it is called life. That is why God sent His son Jesus. You might look like you have everything to the world but inside t will bring you no happiness no joy no life. money. food, clothing, cars it will all go away and soon you have to have something else. It is like a big wheel you will always need something else. Unless you dial into what God created you to look like and act like and do physically/mentally. Some it is music, art, athletics, education. God did not make you by mistake. He loves everything He created about you. Some of you may say I don't struggle with that. That is what I said at first too. Then I began to realize there was always fear in my heart. Some of it would just be crazy ridiculous fears and some would be the tiniest little thing that you would not even think is bad or not right in your life at all. There is something we are always thinking about. The Bible says to think on things that are above. Not how much you want to slap the person next to you, or tell your mom what you have been thinking about her for the last few days or be mean to your brother or sister. But for you to think about how much God loves you and ask God to let you see people through his eyes. Ask God this coming week to set you free from fear no matter what kind.
