You Can Acknowledge Fear Without Letting It Define What Is True

There is room in relationship with God for the truth of where you are. You can tell the Father you’re afraid without having to turn that admission into a declaration of trust before you feel safe enough to speak.

Drawing from David’s words and the disciples’ honest question, this short reflection explores the difference between acknowledging fear and accepting its conclusions. Being afraid of abandonment doesn’t mean you will be abandoned. You can bring what frightens you into His presence and begin to see it with Him.
