Fear is a monster that can destroy dreams, goals and legacies if we grant it permission. The one power I know that is sure to defeat it is the power of love. When faced with fears, place God’s love in front of you and believe the best for yourself. God won’t fight all of your battles or move all of your mountains, but will give you the strength and courage to conquer them on your own, so that you can feel the power of evicting fear and rejoicing in the aftermath. I am no longer that fearful young girl praying for a better day. I am now the 40-something woman warrior who awakes to adventure and is poised to conquer fear’s ups and downs.
