Fear Has No Place Here

Fear, something we are faced with everyday. Fear is not something that comes from God so why do we so often let it takeover our lives.

I am constantly worrying and fearing about life, things that are to come, and things that have already happened. If I had enough faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in our Heavenly Father I wouldn't have such fears.

“If ye are prepared ye shall not fear” (D&C 38:30). As I interpret this in my own life, with where I amcurrently at, it's telling me that if I am preparing myself, keeping the commandments and doing what's right to the best of my ability then I have no reason to fear about such inconsequential things. I run around living my life in fear rather than in faith.

I have no reason to fear the little things that I do. I have a new goal to strengthen my faith. The more my faith grows the more the fears will go away.

I also am going to start making up my own mind. I am very impressionable, if someone tells me their opinion on something I start to believe it as being my own. I hate making decisions, especially the bigs ones that will impact my life, but I'm going to start making them. I know where I want my life to go, I know the direction and path I should be on. As long as I stick to that path my decisions will come easily. 

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
