Overcoming Doubt and Fear

When I wake up each morning, I proceed with my daily routine; meditating, praying, reading and studying. I take time out to show God my gratitude for all that He has done for me. I don't know what the day may hold, but I'm very optimistic believing that God is going to give me favor, protection and blessings. When I woke up today, I was stuck in thought about who is our new President Elect. The election results have shocked the world. My Aunt called me last night concerned about the newly Elected President, Donald Trump. I told her that she needs not to worry or doubt about the situation because he can do no more than Congress or God allows. Many people are in a self-destructive mode simply because of doubt. One thing I have learned in my life is to be careful who I allow to know my dreams, visions and goals. I watched this election very closely and I noticed how the media told the citizens of the United States who was ahead in the polls and who to vote for. I realized that it's not up to the media to tell me who to vote for, but it's up to me to study to see which candidate would be best for the country. So with this being said, many people have doubt in their hearts and minds about where our country is headed. However, you don't have to worry about that! I want you to just concentrate on how you overcome doubt and fear in your own personal life. One way to do this is by controlling the things that you hear, see, and read. When I was a teenager we played this game called "Gossip." The object of the game was to first tell the person next to you a secret in their ear. Then that person would tell the next person on so on until the very last person. Once that person received the information, they had to share what was said. 9 out of 10 times the information that was shared was wrong. The moral of the story is, in order to overcome self-doubt, you can't always listen to people. Sometimes they will cause you to second-guess yourself, your confidence and your faith. Here are 6 things you must remember in order to overcome doubt: 1. Constantly speak life 2. Don't be afraid of change 3. Doubt never moves anything 4. Research for yourself the information you need in order to go to the next level 5. Never let others persuade you to doubt and fear because they do 6. You must have faith and believe
