Fear is something we all face. It takes on different forms and presents itself in many ways in our lives. Just when I think I've overcome one fear another one presents itself. There's many fears and doubts I've overcome but there are many that rise up as life situations happen that I didn't even know were issues. Can anyone relate?

One fear I’ve faced for a long time is perfectionism. I didn't realize that perfectionism was a form of fear. I allowed it to rule in my life for way too long and always thought it was a strength until I came to know Christ. I realized I had to daily surrender my life in order to have the full life God provides and that God's strength is made perfect in my weakness. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says, "But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." and it also says in Matthew 16:25, "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." When I realized those truths then I realized God is perfect and his grace covers our imperfections.
