Ps 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me & delivered me from all my fears

Confidence is a word that alludes me.  My life growing up was lacking self confidence.  I stuttered & shook if I had to say anything in front of people.   School was not a good time in my life. I was haunted by fear.  It was my constant companion.  Competing in anything gave me indigestion….terrible time to say the least. I clung to my belief that I could do all things through the power of Jesus Christ.  Later in life, I pushed myself to do what I thought was impossible.  I also took a course on “a way out” which was very helpful.  Anything that would propel me through fear – lack or whatever you might label it, I was enrolled.  Through the years, every step I took to conquer the taunting darkness of fear brightened my life.  I read: “as long as you run from darkness, it will follow you – turn around and confront it by a power greater than evil…you will be amazed at what will happen.”
