What Do You Fear? Video provided by: TruthMedia Films
Fear. It sneaks up on us when we least expect it. It can frustrate or even paralyze us. It can be embarrassing! Do you think that you miss out on some of the best opportunities because you are just simply afraid to engage? In this short film, Levi pleads with Trick to find a better solution for his fear.

At one point or another we are all gripped with fear of some sort. we should be careful not to let this fear control us through out our lives. I fell a victim of fear through out my life and until now, I did not know that it is not right to be a slave of fear. This was fear of rejection. God in His word has promised us that He has not given us a spirit of fear but of love and a sound mind. If you have God, when faced with any kind of fear, He is faithful enough to enable you to overcome it.
I can personally relate this video with my life. I am a recent college graduate and I had dreams of becoming a novelist when I first entered. During my sophomore year of college I realized I was changing and my dreams were too. I wanted to be a novelist because it was safe. I didn’t have to be around people and if I worked hard I could live in a nice house away from the world. However, God was tearing down those walls I built for protection and the dreams I always had to sing and perform came back to me. However, It was frightening because it meant that I had to communicate and interact with people. I had to open myself up to strangers when I sang or perform. It meant I had to also dig deep into myself. Even today, I find myself still crippled with fear. I’m afraid to get a job because I don’t feel qualified or good enough. I don’t think i’m talented enough for ANYTHING. I don’t feel as if I am even good enough to date because I don’t have a job and things are just so out of control. I prayed that God will show me the way, show me how to overcome fear. Honestly, I know I am afraid of failure, rejection etc. I need to be in control and safe because my childhood was always full of fear and insecurity. I think this video is saying that if I continue to live this way , everything will pass me by. In regards to the young blonde man and his girlfriend, he was even willing to give up his girlfriend for a false sense of comfort. He was pushing everything out of his life.
I pray to God that everyone who is struggling with fear and insecurity, that he will personally visit each and every one of you reading this. The holy spirit can mend a broken spirit, he can drive away fear and he can supply you with the courage you need to succeed. In Jesus name I rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety and insecurity. I speak forth peace and love and courage into the lives of those reading this, in Jesus name. If we pray for others and agree and believe that he can do this, it shall be done. In Jesus name, AMEN!
Yes, I was single till I was 30 and then God brought this christian lady in my life and we got married and have been for 23 years. God can do that for you too philosopher and for anyone who seeks him first
Hi Mercy,
From what I understand, you are engaged to a man who loves you very much but you both have a temper. We all get angry sometimes but it sounds like you might be having trouble communicating in a healthy way. If you’re getting angry about something very quickly, why not have your conversation in writing? If you and your fiancé are both angry at each other it might help to take a few minutes on your own to cool down and write out why you reacted the way you did. If you both tend to react very quickly it might help to sit down and see what your biggest triggers are. What is it that makes you angry? How can you take time to listen to each other instead of getting upset immediately?
I hope I understood your request and my prayer for you and your fiancé is that you would be strengthened in your relationship. If you’d like to talk to someone privately about your relationship you can contact a mentor. Mentors are available to listen and help you through any situation.

Hi Philosopher, I noticed that you referred to 1 Corinthians 7:36. Let’s take a look at what it says, “If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.” (1 Corinthians 7:36) The first thing that stands out to me is that the verse refers to the “the virgin he is engaged to”. You and she are not engaged, so the rest of the verse does not apply. Also, and perhaps more importantly, you cannot force someone to marry you and even if you could, why would you want to? Take a look at the way love is described later in 1 Corinthians 13:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Take a closer look at those words – patient, kind, not self-seeking. . .. . none of those words describe the type of person who would try to force someone to marry him. I know that you are hurting and I know that you want to be with her, but if she has said no to you then you must respect her wishes. You cannot be with someone who does not want to be you – if you force them to be with you, there’s a word for that. It’s kidnapping and it’s illegal in every country in the world. If she does not want to be with you no verse in the Bible is going to convince her otherwise, and no verse will be a good enough reason for you to force her. I know that it is hard to accept, but it is the truth. You cannot claim her as your wife. You are not married, she is not your wife.

Thanks for that link Matt; it looks like they have some really good material there. I like how they emphasize relationship with God as the cornerstone of healthy relationships with others. It is so true that when we are walking with God and sensing His Spirit’s directing we suddenly find ourselves relating so much better to the people around us. That totally goes to your fear Quinton about finding love. God promises, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) God’s plans are always perfect in scope and timing. That includes His plans for you to be joined with a spouse. Instead of working so hard on finding a woman you can love, keep your eyes on knowing God and as you follow Him, He will lead you to that one that He has planned for you.
Let me pray for you: Lord God I ask that You would help calm the fears that Quinton has. Help him to find his security and his hope in You rather than any other source. Guide him into a closer walk with You where he becomes better and better at discerning Your leading and direction for him. And then, in Your perfect time, reveal the woman that You have chosen for him to love and cherish in marriage. In Jesus’ name, amen.
