Afraid
"There I just said it. I'm scared you'll forget about me." Edge of Desire by John Mayer
What are you afraid of? Is it something kinda silly like clowns? Maybe it's spiders or dogs. Or maybe it's something a little more deep like being afraid of being forgotten. All of us have fears. I, myself, am scared of three things: bones, raccoons, and being alone. The first two are easily taken care of. I just have to make sure that I never break a bone or work in the medical field. I just have to make sure that I don't encounter a live raccoon again. (I've already had a run-in that scarred me for life.) The third, however, is a little deeper than my physicality.
Being alone can be different to different people. It may mean not having anyone next to you. It may mean emotionally, you're alone. You feel like nobody supports you or loves you. Being alone may mean you're single. Whatever it is you must know that you are NEVER ALONE.
God loves you so much. He's promised that He will always be there for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. That's the kind of God we serve.
So when I say I'm scared of being alone it's more in the physical sense. I'm truly scared of not having my loved ones around me.
When you realize your fears it's easier to conquer them. And the sooner you realize you have nothing to fear, the better. Being afraid is natural. It isn't a sin. God loves you. He will give you strength to conquer the fears you have. They're just one more reason why we need Him so much.
"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." Isaiah 41:10
