Before I knew it, my heart was racing, hands were sweating and I was unable to move. All because I had a thought.
A "what if.." thought.
I wasn't facing an actual situation yet. I was thinking it into existence though and my whole body was reacting.
I was overcome with fear over something that had not even happened.
What is wrong with me? God, what are you doing?
"This isn't me." He whispered to my spirit. "I don't create fearful thoughts and worry."
And then he reminded me of what Paul said in 2 Timothy. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, and timidity, but of power, love and self discipline."
Then I opened my bible and it fell open to Isaiah 43.
Do not fear, I have redeemed you.
You are precious and honored in my sight.
Do not be afraid, I am with you.
