Then, after an awful pause, the deep voice said, “Susan.” Susan made no answer but the others thought she was crying. “You have listened to fears, child,” said Aslan. “Come, let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?”
“A little, Aslan,” Said Susan.

When was the last time you were afriad?
Are you listening to fears?
Do you need to be brave?
Job 33:4
“The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
What a great verse to bookmark – Job 33:4! Thank you because I have some fears right now!!
That is the BEST! This blesses me and I am going to share it! So enjoy your blog 🙂
Be blessed.
Oh goodness. When was the last time I was afraid? I am afraid daily! The more recent tangilble ones are… leaving my kids for 7 days while I had a vacation with my hubby in England. It was terrifying. Leaving my kids for 5 days while I worked a Kids Camp out of town. More sad than scared. I fear my hubby being in a car accident on his way to work, I fear my kids getting hurt at preschool, I fear when they are sick. Fear, fear, fear! Fear is one of my great weakness but I find naming and claiming them outloud and in my journal helps. It takes away their power. Thanks for the reminder. With Joy, Carey
So glad you shared this Carey! You are not alone!
Thank you, Stacey. I needed this.
I fear more than I care to admit. It is a tough habit to break. I lay it on the altar minute by minute. So much refining left to do in me.
