Quiet Your Heart…

Calendar January 28, 2012 | Posted by nuggetsofwisdom

Quite your heartSearch me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Psalm 139:23

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.  Psalm 139:7-10

God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  Hebrews 13:5b

If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1 John 3:20

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  Philippians 4:6

AMEN!!!

Is Fear Keeping you From Success?

Calendar May 30, 2010 | Posted by gahomegirl
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity(fear), but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.  2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

It is impossible for someone who has a fear of failure to achieve anything of substance because that person has never taken a chance on success. He never gave himself the opportunity to succeed.

According to Jeffrey J. Mayer, in Success is a Journey: 7 Steps to Achieving Success in the Business of Life , “Many people go through life with a fear of failure. They’re so afraid that they’re going to make a mistake, that they won’t do something right, that it won’t be perfect, that they don’t try to do anything at all. They become paralyzed and with this paralysis they lose the ability to have a rewarding, meaningful, and enjoyable life.”

We cannot let fear rob us of living a full and happy life. We can not let fear hold us hostage. Fear keeps us from reaching our full potential. Fear is the opposite of faith.  We must confront our fears head on and lean on our fatih. Faith brings us security, assurance, perseverance and hope.

“New Experiences will always feel a little scary,” comments Jack Canfield in his book, The Success Principles : how to get from where you are to where you want to be. “They’re supposed to.  But every time you face a fear and do it anyway, you build up that much more confidence in your abilities.”

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

– Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
