Can you list 5 things you feared most to ever happen to you and why you are afraid of it?

Some of the things I feared most that would ever happen to me and why are:

First is loosing my job: I have finished secondary school and I got a job which I love with my uncle because he’s house is close to the shop where I got the job. My madam used to behave very badly and shout at us. I liked working for her but I always complain to my uncle about her bad character. So I was afraid that he would ask me to stop working there one day and that was what happened. One of those days I came back crying because of how she accused me and treated me badly and that was how my uncle asked me to stop working there . What I feared happened.

The second one was having to find a job: Somehow I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to find another job due to how hard it was for me to get get the one I stopped. I searched and searched for a long while before I got another one.

The third thing still on the job issue was that I was afraid that my uncle was going to reject the jobs I wanted. While searching for job, I saw so many jobs but my uncle rejected most of them because of one reason or the other. He doesn’t want time to work for a man or do some types of job. He’s so protective of me.

Fourth thing is that I feared most is my dad leaving us because of how inconsistent he has been.

The fifth is having to leave outside of our home because I needed to help my mum and support my siblings.

Did any of these things you feared ever happened to you? Tell us

Yes, like I said earlier, one of the things I feared was my Father leaving my mum and also leaving us. This is a story that I am not free to tell in a public space but I will make it short. On growing up, we have always seen him take his bad and leave and then come back after sometime whenever they have any issue.

We didn’t understand as children or know what is wrong or why he does that but it was always very painful to see him just leave like that. Until when he finally left now that we are grown up and he has not come back since then. It has not been easy for us living with only our mum but our uncle has always been helping us and we are grateful for the help but it still doesn’t make it easy. What we were afraid that it would happen after repetition finally happened.

What's your stand on the saying that the things you fear most will eventually happen?

This statement was gotten from the Bible from the story of Job when he said that what he feared has happened to him and due to that many people keep saying that what we fear will happen to us. It seem like it true and it could be because Satan always have a way of placing his foot as a hold when we are afraid. That is to say that fear is like an invitation to Satan for him to molest us or to cause that thing that we fear to come to pass.

That’s why in the Bible, anytime you hear Jesus talk to people, he will always tell them to not be afraid. God wants us to always walk in faith and not fear. But we can also decree that what we are afraid of will not happen and we would have our decree. We cannot remove fear from our lives as humans but it would be great if we can decide to use the opposite of the fear more which is faith than being afraid
