Try This If you're Tired Of Being Afraid

Have you ever thought of doing a “Fear Fast?”

Last weekend we led worship for a conference where speaker and author Victoria York shared her story of living with anxiety and fear.

This played out in some ways that almost all of us can relate to:

Procrastination, worry, stress, catastrophic thinking, and more.

Unfortunately, fear is tolerated by the church.

Even when God’s word so powerfully reminds us to be fearless, we still believe “we can never escape worry” and at times nearly pride ourselves on it. There’s no place in the word of God where a little fear is ok.

We must live boldly in fearlessness!

Just desiring to be fearless is not good enough. You must live in fearlessness.

I was intrigued by the idea of a fear fast. I have experimented with various types of fasting over my lifetime – fasting from media, certain foods, my guitar, etc. And this sounds like something I could use! It’s easy for me to slip into fear and anxiety.

Just the thought of having a fear fast helps bring action to our daily lives, helps us live boldly and grow in faith!

Take a look at her book, Created For Fearlessness by Victoria York.
