Are you Scared?

ohkayyyy so i think this is probably something we all have dealt with in our faith and walk with God. we need God to help us go about our day and everything we do, but a lot of the time, we try to do it by ourselves. why? we are scared and that's Satan checking on us.
yeah we get scared of taking that leap of faith and giving everything we've got up to God. perhaps it is because we don't understand what God has in mind for us, but he does have a plan. Jeremiah 29:11. perhaps its because we like to think so highly of ourselves and think we can do anything and everything, and deep down we know that's not true, but we are scared to admit it. perhaps its because we think if we give God our life and ask for his help, that he wont and we will be stranded and we will be left feeling vulnerable. the list could go on why we are scared but ultimately its because you are not fully trusting God. go read the book of job. its all about how he has all these hardships, yet he is still praising God, knows he needs Gods guidance and trusts that this is Gods will. read Isaiah 31:1-3 God is basically saying here that whatever your putting your trust in that is not Him will fall and your life will fall apart if you do not trust Him above all else. But, according to that verse God wants us to trust Him, and beyond that we need to trust Him.
when we finally get to the point and we realize our need for God in all areas of our life, we begin to realize that God is God; we are not and we never will be. God didn't create us to run our own lives and when we try we fail every time. every single time. and that is from personal experience. i need God's help and guidance and encouragement, in everything i do. God knows we will struggle with trusting Him and being accountable to Him. that's why He gave us the bible, the "how to live your life for dummies" book. he also tells us to have our friends hold us accountable. Galatians 6:2. and for them to be accountable to us.Hebrews 10:24-25. sometimes we need that extra little push in a godly direction. also check out Ecclesiastes 4:10.
sometimes life gets rough. and perhaps God makes it that way so He will make it clear to us, that we cant do it alone. so we will realize our need for God and tell God "hey i cant do this alone" and thats when he tells us "Daughter, Son, you dont have too"
love
always and forever
