For the longest time I have hated picking up the phone and dialing. I wouldn't say that this is in all cases but it is frequent enough to notice. I know it must be done but for some reason I create excuses not to call that person at that time until I can build myself. It's werid to me that I have concured much greater fears or anxieties but... a small fear like this one lingers. Maybe I am afraid of what the person will say , maybe I am afraid of not knowing what to say.
Fears seem to be all around us. It would be alittle silly to just pour out all my fears and have the world read it and laugh but I just have been thinking about it alot lately and over coming them. I felt like sharing some of my thoughts whether they will help you or not it will help me to process it. As a missionary for the LDS Church, I had to knock on doors of total strangers to share a message about The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some individuals it came easy to and they were able to get pass their fears. I however didn't get over it but... just had to take moment by moment and push forward. Even though my testimony of Jesus Christ and his Gospel is strong , I still struggled to share it with total strangers. I suppose this is normal, we don't know how that person will react but we could look at it in that you may never see that person again and if they are ready for that message than they will be happy but if they are not happy than you will move on. God has given us the spirit of power and love and not fear. God is there to help us but we must believe in him... Have Faith. So I am especially am not perfect at this but I have had many moments of overcoming moments of fear because I know that I am not allow. I suppose you can imagine just as someone you care about will take you and embrace you when you are scared, Heavenly Father does that... and takes our hand and guides us.
We have fears that things won't happen like falling in love and finding that eternal companion, be able to overcome grief. We fear that we won't pass our class or test. We fear small,medium and large things. I don't have a secret to overcoming it but I know Heavenly Father and having faith in him even with the small things help. We also must believe in ourselves and know that we are divine children of God that can do amazing things if we put our mind to it and it's Our Father's will.
We will always struggle with fears or heartache or pain but... What we must learn is that Heavenly Father is there for us even if it means reminding ourself every second of every day.
