The Fear of Making Mistakes
This fear has caused many people to losetheir God-given talents and abilities. They
were afraid of failure and its consequences.
This fear is experienced by most people
at one time or another. Even though this
fear can be overcomed in most situations,
many people are not willing to endure and
do what it takes to obtain freedom from
this form of oppression.
The Holy Bible has several examples of
people overcoming failures, not necessarily
the fear of failure, and you can learn form
those examples how to overcome certain
types of failures.
You can read about the life of Abraham
Lincoln and learn about his approach in
dealing with failures. Another example
is Charles Goodyear, the inventor of
vulcanized rubber.
A simple strategy for overcoming the fear
of failure is to get in the company of people
who are willing to help you deal with the
particular fears that are robbing you.
Yet another simple thing to do is to look
back at your successes and learn from
them.
If you need God to help you overcome your
fear of failure you may pray this prayer and
wait for His help.
O God of heaven, you who know all things
and see all things, you know how I am
oppressed with the fear of failure. I would
like to be free from these fears, so please
deliver me. I will wait for your help. I
believe you care and will help me to walk
free and serve you in faith. Thank you.
I ask you in Jesus name. Amen.
