Overcoming Fear and Insecurity with Faith and Resilience

Recently, I've had some experiences that caused me to step into a greater level of freedom.

Sometimes, when I am out in public, people see that I walk with my cane. They do or say things that may be well-intended but poorly executed.

Freedom Is Found

• In not being afraid of the hurt that others can cause me

• To not be a slave to the emotional pain of intentional or unintentional remarks

• In choosing to not let their actions or comments take root in my identity

• In submitting the situation into the Lord’s hands

I don’t want to live my life afraid of what others think of me or afraid of the pain others may cause me.

I want to live my life in the full freedom that Jesus offers. The freedom to be confident in my identity as His daughter regardless of the situation.

Psalm 72:26

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

I’m learning how to respond when people randomly approach me with comments about my visual impairment that do not always come off very kind.

It is an awkward situation. I believe I will respond better as time goes on and become more experienced in how to handle these unexpected encounters and situations.

God Is The Healer

His healing reaches far deeper than any wound someone can cause me. I don’t have to carry the weight of the inconsiderate comments of others. I can choose to entrust them to His care.

No One Can Hurt Me Deeper Than God Can Heal Me

The identity He gives me is secure and unshakable.

God will often permit us to encounter situations that cause us fear and insecurity so that we can walk in new levels of freedom and fearlessness by relying on Him for help.
