Everyone one of us has been at some time or another torment by fear. Like all of us, we experience fear almost every time we move closer to our goals. Fear is the tool that will try to keep us from fulfilling our plan and purpose. Fear will try to push us back and is always ready to attack us through our thoughts.
Fear is real, but we cannot allow our fears to paralyze or stop us from reaching our goals. We must move out of our comfort zones and out of our cocoon of safety. And, we must at some point or another, tackle the fear that has kept us from living our best life. Even though fear has surely challenged us, we must still keep walking towards our promise. Our mouth may be dry, and our knees may be shaking, our feet may be tired, but we must keep walking afraid. We must keep fear from controlling your lives. We must keep moving forward in spite of your fears. But most of all, we must stay faithful regardless of what we're feeling.
Today is a new day, and even though you are fearful, you must keep walking forward. You must keep walking into the darkness, going not knowing what is ahead, but walking knowing that the path that you are walking on has already been prepared for you. When you fall, get up, brush yourself off and keep walking, keep going, confront your fears and keep confronting them. Keep walking afraid, for each step you take is a victory. Do it afraid!
