 Hey guys, today we're going to talk about getting stuff done even though it scares you. Now, a while back I talked about this on an Instagram story, so you might have seen it if you follow me on Instagram, I encourage you to. But I was just talking about how there's certain things in life that kind of overwhelm you that you can't, you don't really want to mess up on, or maybe the fear of failure keeps you from tackling them. But you need to do it, you need to do that. So how do you get over that kind of fear of failure and being a little bit overwhelmed of, oh man, am I going to do it right? What if I mess up? And so, okay, I want to give you a little example. Right now I'm preparing a couple talks to speak at a conference actually. So part of daily disciple ministry is helping you become an authentic inspired and passionate disciple of Christ through videos, blog posts, and more. And the more is speaking at conferences. So that's what I'm doing. I'm preparing a couple talks. But I've really not had a lot of experience talking in front of groups of people, big groups of people. And so in preparing them, it's kind of made me a little bit nervous and just stressed out to be honest, overwhelmed too, because I'm trying to do the best that I can to look at God's word and just kind of work through what He wants me to say and what kind of I'm thinking that He's going to be good to say, and then I'm kind of creating the PowerPoint and all this kind of stuff. And you know, if you've done a talk, you don't know what's going to happen. There could be some, something crazy could happen. You could just freeze up and that scares me. So in tackling this, I felt overwhelmed and felt stressed out. And at the same time, I've wanted to have joy in this, like, Oh, this is an exciting thing. This is something that I want to do. This is something I agreed to. And I want to feel joyful in it, but I'm having a hard time. And you may be in that same space, you might, there might be something that, you know, what you'd like to feel confident in you like to do, or maybe you have to do part of school or something like that. And you just feel stressed out. Sorry for the banging, by the way. There's stuff we got to do. And how can we really get it done and be calm and, I don't know, channel God's peace to be honest. I have that peace that it's okay. I think a lot of it is really reorienting our perspective into what God sees and God's perspective. Who are you doing? You know, whatever you do, who are you doing it for? Well, okay, maybe you need to, maybe it's school, you got to do it for the professor, you got to do it for your teacher, get that done, you know, do that thing. But really, who are you doing it for? Now, the Bible talks about whatever you do it to do, do all for the glory of God. So at the end of the day, you should be doing it for God. Okay. So a lot of what we're scared of, whether it be, you know, people thinking that we're dumb or, you know, that kind of rejection that comes with failure, we can look at who we're actually doing it for. And we can see that regardless of our performance, God's not going to reject us. He won't leave us. He won't forsake us. So the fact that we have fear of a lot of times it's fear of man, what man is going to think. What if we don't do a good job and they're kind of like, oh, you know what, they don't think as well of you as you want them to. It's a tough thing. But we should be looking towards God and what he sees of us. And I've been trying to do that. I'm not saying it's, it's not a quick thing that you can just like, okay, I'm just going to believe what God believes about me. And you know, it's okay if I don't perform as well as I want to. You know, because God won't reject me. He, you know, accepts me based on, you know, the payment that Jesus already gave for my sins. And he accepts me as his child. You can see that. But at the same time, it takes a lot to kind of, you know, rewire your broken thinking and your feelings might not change. Mine kind of haven't. But it's a faith and a trust that regardless of how I feel or continue and continuing to reorient my perspective into what God thinks, it's going to be tough. But it's about that perseverance and continuing to move into courage, being courageous to do those things, regardless of the tough stuff that you have to battle through and trusting God that, you know, he's going to be there with you. He won't leave you. He won't forsake you. It's going to be, it's always going to be tough. But I think we can learn something from just continuing on, trusting him, taking on his perspective and knowing that it's going to be okay. I don't know. Sometimes people just need to, you just need to hear that. You just need to hear, it's going to be okay. The day after, you know, you make a huge, you fail, you know, and you feel terrible. But at the same time, life moves on and God's there with you. Yeah, I don't know. That's what I had thought today that I want to share with you. So hope you have a good day and I'll see you next time. Bye, guys.
