In some recent situations, even though I might not have realized it at the moment, I was doubting the God of the universe. The God who created man, the God who heals. I was doubting Him. For example, I am am a gymnast. I am a good gymnast, but sometimes different moves can be scary, challenging, and hard. I get afraid and anxious to do those challenging moves. Afterwards, every time I have to do one of those difficult moves, I think back and realize that there was nothing to be afraid of because God was beside me.
I let my feelings blind me from what I know. What do I know? I know that the Lord is in control, and He knows the future. He has a plan. He will not harm me. He is GOOD!
Try thinking about it this way. This earth is a sinful world. The devil runs it. In conclusion, that means that troubling things will happen to us, but God already knows what is going to go wrong. If He is in control, why do we even think about doubting him? God allows those things to happen, because this earth is already broken, and He has better place prepared for us than this world. The devil has already lost the war. He is defeated, and the victory is God’s!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
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.
There are a couple of ways to help control your fear and your anxious soul. One way that I always find helpful is to talk about it. Tell your mom and/or dad about your fear. They are here to guide you.
Another way is to pray. Go and pray to the Lord! The last way is to go straight to the Bible and just read. The Lord will make known to you what He wants you to see.
As you can see, God is for you, and He loves every single one of you. Take heart and let God take control of your life! I encourage you, trust the Lord! He is your everything! Your present help in times of trouble! If you have any questions, or something you want to talk about related to this subject and/or fear. I would love to hear from you.

HI Hannah! I love this blog. Fear should never be our main focus as Jesus wipes away ALL fear. There is no fear in His perfect love. I would love to blog but I’m still thinking about what I would write. I’m prayerfully thinking it over. Love you bunches! Wawa
