It's important to
understand that "fearlessly following the Father" is a calling I
pursue, not an achievement. In fact, I have struggled with fear in so many
forms, I'm practically guaranteed an endless supply of blog fodder. Some of my
fears are rational, others are laughable, but I suspect you and I have a few in
common.
Fear stems from an
insidious deception that denies God's sovereignty and rejects His love. Fear
whispers that God is limited and indifferent, that He is unworthy of our trust.
Fear convinces us that it's all up to us, and provokes us to frantically push God
aside and try in vain to control everything ourselves.
