When Fear Is the Loudest Voice in the Room

I asked God why.

Why would He let all of this happen at once? Why would He allow me to feel this unhappy, this stuck?

And then He revealed something I didn’t want to admit—something He already knew.

I was making decisions rooted in fear.

I wasn’t changing careers because my heart desired it. I wasn’t going back to school out of alignment or purpose. I was doing it out of desperation, fear of failure, and fear of being stuck.

Deep down, I knew it didn’t feel right.

Fear isn’t bad—we’re human, and God gave us emotions. But when fear becomes the driver of our decisions, our spirit becomes rooted in something God never intended us to live by.

God is not a father of fear.

And yet, fear had been leading my life for years.

Reflection Questions:

• What recent decisions have I made out of fear rather than alignment?

• What am I afraid will happen if I choose differently?

• What does my spirit feel nudged toward—even if it scares me?

Save this post and return to it when fear starts making decisions for you.
