Your Question:
what's the best way to deal with my fear of the unknown?
Answer:
As someone who's faced their own fears, I can attest that dealing with the unknown can be a daunting task. According to Scripture, the first step in overcoming fear is to confess it as unbelief. This means acknowledging that much of our fear stems from doubting God's love and faithfulness. We need to recognize that our hearts may be saying, "Lord, I don't believe you" or "Lord, my desires want something other than what you promised." The second step is to examine Scripture and be confident in the love and faithfulness of Jesus. This involves asking someone who is confident in Jesus to give reasons for their confidence. As someone who's a pastor, I've seen this work in the lives of many people. When we confront our fears and doubts, we can begin to overcome them by replacing them with the truth of God's Word. This is not an easy process, but it's essential for living a life of faith. One thing that's helped me in my own journey is to remember the fear of the Lord. This is not a fear of being punished or rejected, but a fear of disappointing or dishonoring God. When we learn to fear the Lord, we begin to see the world and our circumstances through His eyes. This changes our perspective and gives us confidence in His love and faithfulness. As the Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is actually essential to our response to Jesus." By learning to fear the Lord, we can overcome our fears and live a life of faith and trust.
