OVERCOMING FEAR: IN the LORD'S Eyes

Having difficulty of overcoming fear?

1 John 4:18

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect love."

Hebrews 13:6

"So we say with confidence " The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Alcoholism is a disease. When I drank, I drank to relieve stress! The consequence of my drinking I became a different person. A person that the people so close to me became fearful, and terrified. WHAT HAVE I DONE?

TODAY, (8/29/2008) is day 66 of my sobriety. I have overcome my fear by praying to the Lord Jesus Christ to Forgive my sins who I have done wrong, I prayed to the Holy Spirit to Give me strength.

After I admitted I was alcoholic, I became fearful for ALL the Wrongs, All the shame, all the embarrassing things and SERIOUS Hurts I caused because of my drinking. Yes, I was afraid. I was afraid from the people I caused Harm, especially "Whitney." I WAS TOTALLY WRONG!! AND, I PAID THE PRICE!!!

FIRST I had to Forgive myself, and ask God for his forgiveness!!

Second, I had examine the Hurt I caused to people, and Pray for them.

Third, I forgave the people who hurt me.

I ask You To Pray for me on my sobriety and recovery.

To the people I caused harm and damaged relationships, I ask for your forgiveness. I ask to make amends wherever possible. Thank You LORD for this Day 66 of my sobriety.
