Fear!!!

I am trying to let go of the stronghold that fear has in my life and it is not by any means "simple" I am finding. Honestly, after lots of reflection on the subject I think it is a generational thing in my family. I can't prove that for sure but it sure seems as though it is. I remind myself of the verse in Exodus that says, "for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who lov eme and keep my commandments."

I am reminded of it almost daily although some days are worse than others. I am slowly learning to hand my fear over to God and am so thankful that he is so patient with me. What a wonderful God I serve and pray that I can break this stronghold of fear before I pass it on to my kids.
