Fear Clouds The Answer

I had a great talk recently with someone very close about FEAR. More importantly, the impact FEAR has on PRAYING. Remember my post where I mentioned the STEPS to praying? Click here to go read it real quick...

Here's the steps:
It's STEP #2 that I get worried about when it comes to FEAR. See, God can only speak to us if we're listening. FEAR is a VERY loud voice inside your head that is SUPER irrational.

Actually this voice, personally, I feel is the Devil working in you. It's so stubborn, it just feels like it won't go away many times. There are many Scriptures even in the Bible that talk down on "fear." The Bible consistently preaches that FEAR should be replaced with LOVE.

So, if you wrap yourself up in FEAR, you'll never be able to hear God. OR, the answer you hear will actually be the Devil or Satan tricking you. Think about it...it makes sense.

Fear is the #1 weapon that Satan can use - it's one of the most overwhelming emotions. I even find sometimes that FEAR can overwhelm LOVE. Be careful of that.

So, please, please, please. CALM DOWN. Stop always thinking about what can go WRONG and take 2 minutes to think about what can go RIGHT. Show LOVE, pray in peace and tell that voice in your head to "Go back to hell."

But if you're going to Pray, doing so with a mind full of fear is not going to work. Step #2 will fail - you have to let God in, if you don't open the door, he can't come in!
