ACTION STEP: NAME YOUR FEAR

We all have pockets of fear eroding our lives. What are those fears for you? Think through each of the peace busters below. On a sheet of paper or in your journal, name every fear that affects you. Don’t be overwhelmed if the list is lengthy; you don’t need to conquer each fear today. But an honest “state of the union” is a powerful starting point.

Unexpected bad news

Relational breakdowns

Financial problems

Moral failures

Impending mortality

Other

Now read through your list. Which of these fears causes the most destruction in your life? Which exacts the greatest toll on those you love? Which would be easiest to tackle first, as you develop your “fear-conquering muscles”? Circle the fears you want to eradicate first.

For certain deep-seated fears and phobias, it will be necessary to enlist outside help. Certainly if you suspect that a trauma has left you suffering from PTSD like my Vietnam vet roommate, consult a Christian counselor who specializes in your unique situation. For other fears, be bold about bringing family, friends, a mentor, or your small group into the loop. Choose people who are “safe” emotionally and whose godly wisdom you trust. Let them know you’re working on this fear—and invite them to help you along the journey.
