It seems to me that people everywhere are functioning out of fear. As our security is striped away we begin to shiver in fear. The “what if’s” begin and we wonder what will we do “if . . .” We know the verses of scripture that tell us to ‘fear not.’ And yet we plod onward with a sort of dread or at least hesitancy in our step. Our expectations have been dashed. Many are out of work and others left with no retirement to count on. Not knowing what will happen next causes us to feel uneasy–and fear steps into our former safe spot. Were we really safe before or was that an illusion? Our true security and sense of well being comes from a deeper place.
I suggest we start speaking a sound of security into being. The next time you hear a dreadful or negative remark, counter with a positive one. I know how hard this is for me so I’m committing it to writing here for the world to read. Let’s build up rather than tearing down, let’s inspire rather than turning-off, let’s encourage rather than discouraging.
When I was a single mom there were many dark days. And even more disappointments. Using energy to resist it didn’t help. Learning to accept this world as it is and still move onward helped more than any formulas or techniques. Simple faith can be an a amazing thing.
Will you join me in this effort? You never know how your word will turn another’s world around. Start today.
