"Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand." Psalm 37:24 NLT
Every opportunity in life comes with two things: the possibility of succeeding, and then possibility of failing. When you reach the end of your life, your greatest regrets won't be over your failures, but the opportunities you failed to seize because you were afraid of failing. So here are some principles to help you conquer the fear of failing: (1) Be willing to try and fail at something. And when it happens, tell people. Why? Because that's how you discover failure isn't fatal. (2) Find project so big that you cannot do it without God's help, then commit to it. (3) Socialize with some impulsive types. observe how they take risks without dying. Seeing and imitating is a great way to learn. (4) The way we learn to take big steps of faith is by taking small steps of faith. Compliment someone you don't know. Volunteer for an additional task at work. Go out of your way to help someone in need. (5) Declare war on perfectionism. Instead of waiting until you can do it perfectly, do your best and tell yourself, "That's good enough for. now." (6) Be afraid, and obey God anyway. You will never totally defeat your fears, but you can diminish them to where they have less control of your life. Here is a promise for you to stand on: "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand" (vv. 23-24 NLT).
