"Is it okay to be embarrassed by everything you do?" That was the topic tonight after service. My friend Austin used this example, "Because I know people who are controlled by their fear of embarrassment and never do anything and live in a shell. Yet there are others who do whatever they want without a care in the world." I think we are controlled by our insecurities and our fear of failing. He also made this point, "I know people who have a gift from God yet they chose not to share it because they are scared. Now there is a time to be humble, but when they choose not to do something it's just frustrating." And I felt really convicted. I know my insecurities keep me from doing the things God wants me to do a lot of the time. My fear of failing keeps me from singing freely to worship the Lord. My fear of not being good enough keeps me from pursuing more relationships. So whatever provoked Austin to talk about this, really made me think about myself and how I should be living in my everyday life.
Dear God,
Lord I pray I would not let my insecurities keep me from doing your will. Give me the strength to not be consumed about what people think about me. Lord let me only be concerned with what you think. Help me to be a fearless woman of Christ.
