Voices in Your Head
The voices in your head. They can be all-encompassing. They can motivate you to keep going or freeze you in your tracks. They can make you cry out in pain or speak in a whisper. They can own you or arouse the need for freedom, deep within your soul.
How Powerful Are They?
Don’t let the voices in your head decide how you view life. Fear is real. We all deal with it, so don’t run from it. Instead, dig deep into it. Find out where it’s coming from.
What are You Truly Afraid Of?
The voices in your head. They can be all-encompassing. Either motivating you to keep going or freeze you in your tracks.
They can make you cry out or quiet your voice to a whisper.
They can own you or arouse the need for freedom, deep within your soul.
Stop the Cycle
Don’t let the voices in your head decide how you view life. If you experience fear, know it is real. Don’t run from it deal with it. Dig deep into it. Find out where it’s coming from. What are you truly afraid of?
Are you afraid of failure—or the pressure of success?
Are you afraid of dying—or the sense of missing out?
Are you afraid of being alone—or opening yourself up to the vulnerability of being in a relationship?
Take a Breath
Sit back, take a breath, and face today’s fears. Speak Truth aloud to them if you need. The negative power tends to shrink and flee when challenged. Fear tends to shrivel when faced with spoken truth:
“God will never leave me nor forsake me. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
“God has a plan for my life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
“My God cries when a sparrow falls, yet he loves me even more.” (Matthew 10:29-31)
Sit back, take a breath, and face today’s fears. Their power tends to shrink and flee when challenged.
Today
The only fear you need to face is today’s. The tools you need for tomorrow’s fears will present themselves when you need them. Be confident. Depression or fear may come again tomorrow, too, but you can be ready.

Be Ready
In John 14:1, Jesus said, “Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me.”
Remember God. Remember Jesus. Remember the sparrow.
Dedicated to my father, who on a lonely morning in the fall of 1979, forgot to remember.
