Amen. We are fallen Finite. Failed creatures who often struggle with fear, sinful fear. There are countless reasons for the fear that arises from within.
We have these inward struggles, these inward battles with fear, but then from outside of us we live in a fallen world and, and the world in which we live arouses and it feeds our fear with messages designed to trip us up and to make us fall. Do you recall the last time that you struggled with fear? The last time that you felt afraid. Are you struggling with fear right now?
What are you afraid of? You're a young person. Perhaps you are afraid of the dark. Getting hit with a baseball, making an error and striking out to lose the game.
Are you afraid of the future? Finances, financial struggles, your job situation, disease. Dying Death. Do you fear the loss of a loved one, rejection, abandonment, isolation?...
