How do I handle fear and self-doubt?
When I’m lying alone in bed at night, I have an extremely bad habit of hiding under my blanket when I’m afraid. Perhaps it’s a natural response to the dark. Little kids do the same thing when they’re scared of the monster under the bed or in the closet. To them, their blanket is a shelter, shielding them from their imaginary fears.
Self-doubt is not the right term to use; that’s a term of the world. I would replace “self-doubt” with “doubt in the Lord” since He is the One Who made you and knows you better than you know yourself. And in truth, I really don’t handle self-doubt, I welcome it. I get too caught up in how I feel rather than how I really am. It’s a bad habit I must break, pronto; otherwise it’ll follow me into the later years of my life.
But to answer the daily prompt, we must trust God in handing our fear and self-doubt. He’s been through every valley we’ll ever face, and He understand our minds and hearts. God is the answer to every problem humankind has, is, or ever will face.
