Face Your Fear – March Toward It!
#QueenofFear #DarleneLarson #FaithoverFear #FaceYourFear #MarchTowardit!
In my early twenties, single, and hungry for God and a good life, I attended a Bible based training and heard a verse being read a loud. I want that- wisdom! So, I opened up the Scriptures and this what I did day after day, month after month, and year after year, I opened my Bible to learn and to apply!
Within a month of turning twenty-five years old, I married. The next months and years, I slowly discovered I had married a poser. Time ticked on. The tremendous emotional pain grew in my life from what I lived in. And my secret of keeping the abusive marriage hushed was not good for me. Please learn from me, the pain from being married and not loved, and alone, so alone, is worse than being single. Plus, we were not made to have pain grow within us. So I turned to God and knit my heart to His. I grew in love with Him and His Word. That quarter of a century of living in a toxic environment of captivity was long, grueling, and I internally died as God turned me inside out. And fear is what I had to face to step out of the grip of a narcissist.
- The first Truth, Jesus is the SAME, day in and day out. He is not an abuser.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8, NASB). Constant. Consistent. Jesus. Secure and security forever. He is changeless. He has led me, met me, and walked me through horrific loss. He can do that for you too! But you have to face your mess even in fear.
- Face any abusers.
- Face your emotional pain.
- Face your fear head on.
- What do you need to face?
2. The second Truth, Jesus will ALWAYS be with you. And abuser’s leave you alone and emotionally a mess.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5b, ESV). Living in isolation in an abusive marriage was the deepest pain I had ever experienced up to that time in my life. Horrific. Horrible. Expecting emotional connection, care, and comfort from a spouse, only to be told, “You shouldn’t feel that way or have a desire to converse” yet you witness the daily distribution of connection, care, and comfort handed out to others, including nonfamily females.
- Face your fear.
- Face your isolation.
- Face what you are scared of.
- What can be your first step to address your fear?
3. The third Truth, Jesus will help.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5b, ESV). He saw it all and sees it all. He provided for me, peace, strength, faith, stability, and endurance. I had to look to Him, to get my daily bread of life and to sustain me and my mind. He did then, and even today, He is my help. He has my back. Forever does. As He promises to not forsake me or you.
- Face what?
- Face your fear and that looks like what?
- Do you need help to face your fear?
