I thought to myself surely they had to have been afraid.. Then Jesus in the garden.. He was too. Im doing this bc i have a decision of my own to make and i have a bit of fear attached to it. Is faith solely bold and courageous or is it possible to be afraid and still have faith? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect love casts out fear, but our love is far from perfect. Grit your teeth and trust God. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if fear is not of.. they can not go hand in hand/coexist. Its also doubt. A great example is Peter and when asked "if your really Jesus tell me to come and Jesus said come". So Peter was walking on the water then looking around fear doubt and what happen? Faith had to leave and he sank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to fill myself with Faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting go of a relationship( that's not even working) is the least I could do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith means we shouldn't worry, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't consider the consequences of decisions we need to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Proverbs 24:10 Even Moses made excuses as to why he could not go to Egypt to do what God had asked of him.

How many times in the bible does it say do not fear. Someone here said there are 365 verses. One for each day. I had one every day for years sometimes, and had to learn to grow through the fear by scripture, prayer, and others advise who's been there. Fear is a tough one to overcome, because all of us are frail like sheep, and need a shepherd we feel will protect us, so our faith and strength can grow stronger. It's alright to be afraid. God will be with you in your fears, and help you get through it by being with you. Edited September 14, 2021 by Arrabon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
