Dear U,
Did you know you've got your own "internal chatterbox?" It holds the key to most of your fears! It's the little voice of gloom and doom that goes something like this: "I'd love to have a better relationship, but if I make the first move and they don't respond I'll feel rejected." Or, "I'd like to pursue my education, but if I register for classes then can't do the work I'll feel stupid." Such words become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Until you replace your negative self-talk with faith-talk, you'll always live in fear.
Your mind is the seed-ground of your spirit; it nurtures each seed you sow until the time of delivery. So if you don't want what a seed will ultimately produce, you must weed it out, stop sowing it, or stop feeding it. Your first step to breaking fear's hold, is recognising the self-talk that got you into trouble in the first place. Is that easy to do? No, it takes vigilance, self-awareness, discipline and scriptural reprogramming. But by changing your thoughts you'll begin to change your entire life.
Job said, "You will... declare a thing, and it will be established for you." Now the amazing part is, at times you may not "feel like you believe" the particular Scripture you're standing on. That's okay; your inner self accepts what it's consistently fed and begins to act accordingly. So go ahead, serve an eviction notice on every negative thought that's holding you back and begin reprogramming your mind with God's Word.
God Bless...
