12 Days of Christian Self Examination Day 4: Fearing No One
This self examination requires thinking, writing, and imaging.
One of the greatest teachings of Christianity is that we are to fear no one.
Practice this exercise:
Write the names of three people you fear. This could be a known enemy, a co-worker or boss, a family member or neighbor, or anyone.
Next to each name, write every reason for your fear. This list may include what this person has done to you in the past, what they have done to others, what they have threatened, or what you believe they are capable of.
In spoken prayer, take your list to God. Speak aloud every fear. Ask God for wisdom in dealing with this person. Ask God to show you how to move beyond your fear. Do what God says.
Write the answers God gives you. Put those answers into practice.
Keep your writing and review it a month from now and review your writing again in three months. What has happened?
Naming your fears and handing them over to God is the beginning of fearing no one. Place your fears against the power of God. Take your fears from the corners of your mind and release them into God's control.
