Isaiah 58:12 "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."
Fear thrives on “It won't happen to me "thinking. In other words, our emotions convince us that an undesirable outcome results in defeat, embarrassment, or spiritual and personal annihilation when are faith is breached by a real situation that causes us to stumble and fall.
We ask these questions if and when it overwhelms us:-Why did if God let this happen and reject me?
-What's going to happen to me in the future because of my failure now?
-Will I ever recover what I have lost?
Although these are difficult questions to find answers for, none of these things will result in an “end of the world” scenario that you allow them to become. If fear convinces you that they will, you irrationally fear the outcomes and give your fears control over you. As a mere mortal you're inefficient at predicting how current or future mishaps will make you feel. In reality, you avoid consciously thinking about it all together, which only perpetuates your subconscious fears and let's your imagination run wild.
Ask yourself this question:
“If a disaster or calamity should strike what are the most constructive ways I could cope with it and move forward with my life?”
Remember, how you feel after a personal setback or loss is important in your recovery. Allow yourself to be upset for a short while, and then begin the process of growing from the experience and moving on. Just doing this will help you feel less fear about the possibility of the fallout from your failure. God is the restorer and He can return what has been stolen from you.
