I saw the look in her eyes and I knew why. She was scared to go out by herself to put her school stuff in the car. This has been a reoccurring issue because our cats often bring “prizes” up for their humans. And Macy has been the lucky one to find them.
This morning, in particular, I was so “done” with her being scared to walk outside. My patience had run out. And I’m not proud to admit that. But what followed next, I am pretty dang proud of.
I said— “Macy, tell fear to go to hell.” My 8 year old looked up at me like 😵 I said it again— “Tell fear to go to hell where it belongs.” She started laughing and said “Mom, I can’t say that.” And I told her she had my full support and permission to send fear back to the fiery depths where it belongs, anytime she needed to.
How many times have you let fear dictate the decisions you make? How many times has fear stolen your joy or your freedom? I’m done with fear. And I’m breaking the chains off not only for me— but for my children and their children and their children. And for Generations to come.
"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
Psalm 16:8 (NIV)
"I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."
Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
Fear has taken so much from me. But it will NOT be allowed to steal anything from me ever again. And I know without a shadow of a doubt that YHVH will restore every bit of it. #becausehetoldmeso
I wanna know, how are you breaking off the chains of fear in your life TODAY?
