What stops us from fulfilling our calling in life and be in a place of freedom often is fear. Sometimes we can be unaware of its grip on us as it holds us back from venturing out and being who we dream of being. We may find ourselves giving excuses why we can't like time crunch, family focus, work demands, and so much more. If we stopped to reflect, those may be our safety net in dealing with possible fears that stem from unworthiness, shame, past failed experiences and the endless pain we are avoiding. And yet God wants to position us to receive His blessings and promises.
Allow these Scriptures to speak to those fears and ask the Holy Spirit to bring things to your mind that may need to be laid down so that you can overcome the fears that captivated you. God has freedom for you! Jump in and take the journey towards greater freedom without fear!
