Real Problems: The What If’s of fear

The “What if’s” of fear

1. Fear of Loss
2. Fear of Failure
3. Fear of Rejection
4. Fear of the Unknown

Fear is placing fear in the “what-if’s”

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to
you’?”

Exodus 4:1

Why do your “what if’s” matter?

• What you fear reveals what you value the most.
• What you fear revels where you trust God the least

Facing the“what if’s” of fear

Acknowledge your fear and choose to trust God.

My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride. 3When I am afraid, I will trust in you. 4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

Psalm 56:2-4

Seek God until He takes away your fears

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3
