There are two driving forces in my life, one positive and on negative. The positive force is my family and the people in my life I love so dearly. They help me to be a better person and give me support. I thank God for them as He is the one who placed them in my life. Through them, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend~although I know I could be better at each of these roles.
The negative force that drives my life is FEAR! I worry about EVERYTHING that threatens my state or family's state of happiness. My main fear is death, which I know is wrong and is completely the antithesis to having faith. I need to remember that as humans, it is natural to have fears, however fear that is not conducive or that is contrived, is NOT from God. I must remember that Satan is the great deceiver, and will use fear to stop me from doing God's will or distract me from my relationship with God.
Lord,
I know that when I fear, I cannot excersize faith. Please help me to trust in You and turn away from my fears. I believe the more I walk with You, the more able I will be to cast my fears. I know death in this life will result in eternal life with You, however in my spiritual immaturity, I have yet to commit it to my heart to not fear this. Please help me to do that. I need to learn to put my faith in You, after all, it is so evident how much You love me by those You have placed in my life, as well as ALL the blessing you have given me and continue to give me each and every day. I also know, because You created me, I am no surprise to You, and I find comfort in that because, even though I'm a mess at times, I am Your mess. And because my weaknesses make me this mess, I am ever so dependent on You~ as You, Lord, see me through and You can use my weaknesses. Thank you Lord!
