Thank you for sharing your "what ifs" and taking us through this study. I blogged about my "what ifs" in relation to my life as a military spouse.

What if… my life is filled with what ifs. Afraid of failure, afraid of loss… what if.

What if I could live my life totally without fear and a victorious life of faith… I can. I must.

Thanks for this study, Iris.

What if…, this posts hits right where I’m at today Iris. I find I’m constantly plagued with what ifs especially after I’ve made a decision and I’m not sure it’s the right one or how it’s going to work out. Thank you for the reminder that this too is a form of fear.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Iris!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I must admit, journaling my feelings about this was difficult at first, but relieving as well. I re-posted the quote you placed on your entry from Max Lucado on my Facebook as my status, to help remind me of how it could be like to not live in fear at all. I am hoping that many others will see it and be inspired to ask for God’s help through all the uncertain times they face.

God bless you!

Great post, Iris. I have started Beth Moore’s book So Long, Insecurity and it is very eye opening to me.

Yes, the “what if” game is one that often rolls in my mind. Sometimes it is just the dumbest things I realize that I’m saying “what if” about….usually if I write it down or type it I think why would I think such!? I did this often in school. Every year I’d have a new “what if” that I was worried about for the coming year.They make me laugh now to think back on them, but at the same time remind me that God was with me in the new changes I went through of high school and He’s with me now.

In the study I did Me, Myself, and LIes, it said to replace the What IF with What IS. That was helpful for me to read and try to apply to my life.

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. The “what if” game can get you every time. As someone who has battled (still do at times) with insecurities I know how much satan can mess with your mind. Praise God we serve a big God who never lets us go.

What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?

That is my goal, but I can tell you I have already failed in 2010 and it is only January. But I know God does not give up on me and I will keep trying. =)
