Please contact us if you have questions or comments or want encouragement.
Fear is a natural part of life in this world, yet when the fear of failure paralyzes us, we must be bold and ask God to make us confident and comfortable in Him. The fear of failure is a bad habit many people get caught in. If you know that God loves you, even though you may be experiencing some fear, that does not mean God is not watching over you!

 

Fear of failure can be translated into a lack of faith in God or yourself. Start to trust God more, and your worries will fade away! Take time to understand that God has a plan for your life, and our job is to follow Him and trust Him, not the devil’s lies. Think about how you can begin to start this process in your life. Remember that it is just a bad habit that you would benefit significantly from getting rid of, and that starts with prayer and help from other Christians who would be willing to help you, maybe your best friend or a pastor. ~ Bill Greguska

 

1 John 4:18  There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

 

 

 

Do Not Let The Fear Of Failure Stop You!

 

 

Fear Of Failure Can Stop You In Your Tracks!Doubt Is The Roots Of All Your Fear! NeedEncouragement.com

Do not let the fear of failure hold you back! Do not worry; God will not give you more than you can handle without providing His help to make it to the other side. At times, each of us has had a fear of failure that has sprung its ugly head up in our lives. If we are wise, we take all our worries and concerns and pray them to God.

A scripture in 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you.” I have noticed that when I have gotten into a position where fear of failure has intimidated me, it has been my lack of faith and not keeping my eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. To fight this fear of failure, I have asked God to give me confidence and make me comfortable following His will instead of living out my sinful ways. I know that God has a plan for each of our lives, and the fear of failure is not a part of that plan. Yes, there will be times that doubt will creep in, and other times failure seems inevitable, yet all we need to do is trust in the Lord and do our very best. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 

 

 

Do You Have A Fear Of Failure?

Doubt And Fear Of Failure Are The Roots Of Many Problems!

The world is full of many concerns, and even though we live in this world, we don’t have to live in its fear of failure. The issues of tragedy, terror, sickness, death, pain, or disaster are all tools of the enemy, the devil, to keep us enslaved. But when you’re free in your mind and thinking, you’ll be free. Fear of failure is the root of almost every negative thing in our lives. We’re afraid of failing, being alone or rejected, frightened of running out of money, scared that people will possibly let us down, that we won’t find a spouse or the one we found will leave us. We’re afraid something wrong might happen to our children or us, and the list goes on and on. 

 

All worries and anxieties are rooted in believing God’s Word won’t work. For example, the fear of not having enough is rooted in the doubt that Philippians 4:19 isn’t genuine. If you believe that “God will supply all your needs according to His riches…” the fear of failure leaves. Everyone has their set of concerns and is dealing with issues in their life – today. We need to understand that we can’t allow things to master us. There is healthy and unhealthy fear; the fear of the Lord is healthy and the beginning of wisdom. But unhealthy fears can also stop people from living God’s life for us.

The Fear Of Failure Is Your Enemy!

 

Ways To Cope With Life:

  1. Do not let anyone or anything get under your skin as you deal with your problems.
  2. Ask yourself, “What is the worst that can happen?”
  3. Prepare to accept the worst.
  4. Remember that fear is a sign of a lack of faith.
  5. Remind yourself of the enormous price you could pay for worrying, such as ill health.
  6. Think of yourself as a victor, not a victim. You are not a victim of Satan’s plan to steal, kill, and destroy. You are a vital part of God’s plan to give you life abundantly—John 10:10.
I have been afraid to do many things, only to find that I had nothing to worry about after trying to do what I was scared of. Yes, situations can be stressful, but anxiety does not make life even harder! 
Psalm 56:11, the psalmist writes, “In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” You can say that this is an excellent testimony to the power of believing in God. Regardless of what happens, the psalmist will trust in God because he knows and understands the power of God. The key to victory is total and complete trust in God through the good times and the not-so-good times. Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere. Even in the darkest times, keep turning to God and trusting Him to make things right. If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, anger, or depression, Christian help for depression is available here on our website. You will discover that with the help of God, you can do all things.
