Afraid of what might happen, afraid something might not happen, afraid of living and afraid of dying.  I was afraid to take chances and had little confidence in myself.  Now most of my fears are gone and I still have very little confidence in myself, however I do have confidence in my God.  <\/p>\n<p>Application: I don\u2019t need to build up my own self-esteem, what I need to do is draw closer to God and allow Him to guide my life.  My fear came from knowing my own limitations and now my strength comes from knowing I could do all things through Jesus.  The only fear I should have is a fear of the Lord and to humble myself each day to His desires.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: My Lord and my God.  I know you didn\u2019t give me a spirit of fear, but of love peace and a sound mind.
