Afraid of God

Anonymous · Guest

The Lord has been revealing a lot to me lately, ever since I have prayed for direction and understanding of his will with others online. The Lord God has poured out an abundance of wisdom and guidance, for which I give him the praise. However, it also reveals a lot about me which isnâ€™t good, and thus, I need more prayer. I am scared of God. I canâ€™t get over the idea that Heâ€™s going to remove his calling on my life and destroy me at any given moment. I canâ€™t really get it into my head that he loves me and only has the best intentions for me. I know that in my mind, but in my heart, I realize I serve God out of fear of destruction and misery, more than I do out of love and trust. I fear more than just God. I believe I am under a spirit of fear because of my past. I am afraid of rejection, disappointment, failure, women and people in general. All these things make it hard for me to trust God, others or even myself. This fear (especially of God) is blocking my blessings as I find it hard to trust God, or that I am hearing from him, or that he even loves me and isnâ€™t waiting for the next mistake to crush me to dust. I find it hard to â€œLet go and let Godâ€, because I find it difficult to trust him. Please, I donâ€™t want to lose my blessings and destiny because I canâ€™t accept love and I canâ€™t trust because of past pains. I donâ€™t know exactly what to ask you to pray for, but please just be led by the Spirit, I am desperate to win this battle over fear and the ghosts of my past. Please stand with me in prayer to God to help me through these issues. Please pray Godâ€™s love over my life to help destroy this fear before it destroys my life.

Thank you,
Brandon.

psalm 91: 1-8

God is forgiving, all we must do is ask for forgiveness. If you are scared because of ghosts in your past, pray for them to be gone, and they will be gone. I know that is easier said then done, but what I am trying to say is you have to forgive yourself too, because God will forgive much easier then you will forgive yourself. God designed us with imperfections and with the capacity to make mistakes in our life. God also gave us the feeling of guilt when we know we have made a mistake. I think guilt is a form of punishment that God gave us, but it isn't punishment by God, rather, we punish ourselves for sins, even after God has forgiven us. Unfortunately, guilt isn't easily subdued. It can lead to doubts, and in this case fear. What you need to understand is that God understands that we are not perfect.

Our Lord rejects NO ONE! God asks us to believe in his son, and we are free from all sins (check acts 13: 38-39)

Do not worry. (check philippians 4: 4-9)

When I get scared of anything, because there is a lot in life that does cause fear, I open my bible, and it has the answer. It's sometimes hard to see clearly because fear can cloud our vision, but the Lord is kind, gentle, and great, and he wants to help us with our fears. The answers are all around us.
