Over the next few weeks we will be studying excerpts from my book, “FEAR – PROOF” as we look at how damaging fear can be to the Mental component of our Wheel of Life.
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” ~Frederick Douglass
Another by-product of fear is the fear of failure which I’ve touched on in our struggles with perfectionism and self-doubt.
The devil tries to convince us that failure is an end, whereas in all reality failure is simply a step in the process of accomplishment.
The devil encourages us to fail backwards. God always wants us to fail forward.
The longer I live the more I realize life is one big lesson and the really “big” lives are built upon failures that have been transformed into better ways of doing things (God inspired), whereas really small lives are built upon failures that have turned into lousy excuses to do nothing (devil inspired).
Which way are you failing today? Forward or backward? Downward or upward?
Try seeking God in all you do, especially when you fail…a new life of success, with no ending, will be in store for you.
Matthew 6:33 (NIV), “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Additional Scripture to read and reflect upon: 2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 118:6
What beliefs, thoughts and actions cause you to struggle with fear of failure?
P.E.A.C.E.
