FEAR

Fear

 

I am having a day of fear.  I hate to admit it, but it is present non the less.  Due to the fact that adoption is a journey into the unknown, many friends and family have given me this scripture throughout the past few months:

 

^{Isaiah 41:10}

 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

I need to cling to his righteous right hand. 

I need to be renewed by his strength.

I need to embrace his help.

 

Pray for my fear:

1.  I have fear of a disrupted adoption.

2.  I have fear of not being there at the time of her birth.

3.  I have fear that we will not be able to get a plane ticket when needed.

4.  I have fear that she will not be healthy enough to come home.

 

Philippians 4:6 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
