Fears

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

Last night one of the short devotional stories I read was about David and how he had no fear when he fought Goliath, and it made me start to think. Think about your biggest fear, the one thing that scares you the most. Everybody has fears the dark, heights, spiders, snakes even clowns. Some are more subtle like death, being alone or fear of failure. What ever your fear maybe really think about it, and how it makes you feel when you are forced to face it. Some of my fears include simple things like dark basements, a creaky old dark house at night, sometimes a rodent or insect can give me a scare, but these are simple fears for me that don't last very long, I am able to just over come them, and making my self deal with it when they come up. One of my biggest more hidden fears is the fear of being alone, it seems a little silly, and its something that not everyone can understand, but a lot of people are afraid of being alone. You don't admit it or may even deny it, but no one wants to feel there completely on there own, with no one to turn too. When facing other fears such as bugs, the dark, small spaces, heights you'd probably call a friend to help you through it before making yourself face it. The idea of having to face smaller fears alone can make your original fear even worse. Whats funny about this fear is that it applies to no one. No one is ever complete alone, if they let God in simply by a prayer and ask for guidance or comfort then the one who loved you from the beginning and has never left you and will never leave you will be there. Just call on him. I'm going to end with just posting a song below that reminds me to call on God when I feel I have no where to turn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Mu-T2g2a8

Call my name
third day
Its been so long since You felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know There is a place where you belong
here in my arms
Chorus:
When you feel like your alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there

The pain inside has erased your hope for love
Soon you will find that I will give you all
your heart could ever want and so much more
Chorus:
When you feel like your alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cars
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there

You just call my name You just call my name
Call my name say it now I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
Call my name say it now I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

The love I have for you is so alive (2x)
Just call my name (3x)
