Have no fear! God has always been here!
Seriously though. It sounds silly, but it’s completely true. All of God’s children have the Holy Spirit (God) living in them. That God-power is uniquely woven into each person and makes them completely invincible in spirit. Most of us don’t believe that though. Just because our physical bodies may be vulnerable to pain and humiliation and sickness, does not mean the Holy Spirit is even though it is in our bodies. Yet for some reason, we seem to think we cannot do what we “want” to do; we think we will fail.
The real issue is actually not that we will fail, but that we will look silly or stupid or inadequate to those watching. How we appear to others becomes more important than what God does, or is doing, or isn’t doing. We end up not even trying some things because we don’t want our image to be hurt.
We are called to obey God, even if we then fail. He simply wants obedience. He can choose what he is going to do, and then he gets the glory, not us. So have no fear in obedience. If it doesn’t happen, God just didn’t do what you asked. But now that’s on him, not on you, which is how it should be in the beginning.
