FEAR

Psalm 23:4
"I will fear no evil for YOU are with me."

Psalm 27:1,5
1"The LORD is my light and salvation--whom shall I fear? 5For in the day of trouble HE will keep me safe in HIS dwelling; HE will hide me in the shelter of HIS tabernacle and set me high on a rock."

Isaiah 41:10
"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."

1John 4:18
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

It's so silly, but I am so afraid to get on an airplane and fly to Colorado. It's like all my faith flies out the window...Help me, God, to trust in you. If you can hold the stars and planets in their place, then you can hold an airplane up in the air and keep us safe. Help my unbelief, Lord.

i hope that this turned out okay for you... and thanks for posting that last scripture, it would have taken me a while to find, and it's exactly what i needed to hear.

are you just afraid of flying? i can empathize with that. i'm scared of heights and especially being stuck on planes at high altitudes.

i hope that whatever this was referring to worked out alright. i hope He alleviated your fear.

I think I'm more afraid of something happening to me & Freddy and leaving the other 3 kids behind. I feel so silly even admitting my fear, but if you and J can be brutally honest in your blogs, then I guess I should be, too. Right?!?

Each day I feel my fear lessening (is that even a word?!?), though. I just need to trust and deal with it.
