Don't let fear hold you back. God >fear (Nehemiah 2:2-3)

Nehemiah 2:2-3

New Living Translation (NLT)

² So the king asked me, “Why are you looking so sad? You don’t look sick to me. You must be deeply troubled.”

Then I was terrified, ³ but I replied, “Long live the king! How can I not be sad? For the city where my ancestors are buried is in ruins, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.”

Nehemiah wasn't ashamed to admit his fear, but he refused to allow fear to stop him from doing what God called him to do. When we allow our fears to rule us, we make fear more powerful than God. Is there a task God wants you to do, but fear is holding you back? God is greater than all your fears. Recognizing why you are afraid is the first step in committing it to God. Realize that if God has called you to a task, He will help you accomplish it.
