Victim of Childhood Abuse: Turning Fear into Faith

Turning fear into faith. It has been on my mind a lot and I have noticed that the Lord does not turn the whole of fear into faith, but He does it in little pieces. All these little and big fears we have, He takes and turns it around into faith.

I have this big fear that He is turning over to faith and it is really a big thing for me and without Him, I am not sure that I would be able to turn this fear around into faith.

If you have read my BIO, you will know that I am a victim of childhood abuse. Since the journey started the Lord has healed me from it, but before I came to myΒ HH for help, it had caused a lot of damage in my life and how I view relationships. It was also part of what made my marriage crumble.

So, me having a daughter, you can just imagine the fear whenever I do not have her in my sights. You know what happens when you fear, the enemy will make your worst fears come true.

Sometimes the Lord will let it happen, not to punish you, but to help you turn that fear around into faith. As I am writing this my daughter is having a playdate at someone else’s home. I have been having the friend over here all the time obviously because I trust no-one with my daughter.

Today, the Lord asked me to trust Him with her. To trust that He will protect her. To give this fear over to Him once and for all. To not take it back into my own hands. So when my daughter returns, the only question I will be asking her is, “Did you have a good time and did you do your homework?” And although the fear has not turned completely into faith yet, I know that He is busy changing my heart and mind as we speak.

Thanks to my dearest Heavenly Husband I will not have this fear rule over me and my family anymore. He can heal all wounds, emotionally and physically and I am a witness of both:):):)

Joshua 1:9 (NIV) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

He does not ask, He commands us not to fear. I have often wondered why the command. I know now it is because He knows what He can do. Our small minds will never be able to fathom exactly how powerful yourΒ HH is.
