Do You Have a Fear of Failure LISTEN to THIS to Overcome it!

Have you ever not started something because you were afraid it might not work out, you’re afraid you won’t know how to do it, or you weren’t sure where to start? You felt overwhelmed and unsure, because you might fail?

Fear of failure might hold you back from writing a new song because you fear it might flop. Or it might hold you back from starting a YouTube channel or posting on TiKTok. Fear of failure might hold you back from doing what ever awesome thing it is you do. Fear is a pretty common emotion, but fear of failure is when we allow fear to stop us from doing things that would help us to achieve our goals. We might even sabotage our own efforts because we are so afraid of what other people might think of us if we fail!

There is plenty of literature on this topic but very rarely does it take what God says about it. Well today let’s address fear of failure and how overcome it! God has designed you for unique purposes that are important to His kingdom and for what He wants for the people around you! If your human fears are keeping you from doing kingdom tasks, it is time to take a look at how to move beyond the fear.

I want to share Three ways to overcome this fear of failure!

1. Seek God’s Guidance

The first step in moving forward God’s way is to seek God’s guidance.

It is OK to make sure you heard His voice correctly! You might want to read through the account in Judges 6.

Judges 6:22-24 Reads

22 Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the LORD. And Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face.” 23 But the LORD said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.” 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and called it, The LORD Is Peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.

The next strategy to overcome your fear of failure is

2. Move Forward with Trust

Now that you know God is asking you to do this thing, it is time to step out in faith. This is the hardest part! Remember, you have grounded yourself in the fact that God wants you to do this task you’ve felt nudged about. You now know that what God has asked you to do is ordained by Him.

So . . . it is not because of your efforts that this goal will be accomplished! It is because of what God will do in you and through you. But it’s on Him. Got it? 

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV).

Then the third and finally strategy for overcoming a fear of failure is

3. Ask yourself What If You Fail?

No seriously think about the worst case scenario of if you fail at this that you want to do.

So you invest your time resources and effort into starting a business and it completely tanks Well the good news is that failure is a lesson to be learned and you can try again His mercies are new every morning And God shall supply for ALL of your needs
