Day 9: Identify Your Fear: What’s Holding You Back?  

 Reference Verse: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)  

 Lesson:  

Fear is the greatest dream-killer. It whispers: - "You’re not good enough."; - "What if you fail?" - "It’s too late for you."  But fear is a liar. David faced Goliath not because he felt brave, but because he knew God was with him (1 Samuel 17). Your dream may seem impossible, but God specializes in the impossible (Luke 1:37).  

 Application:  

1. Write it down what’s holding you back..  

2. Replace Fear with Truth: Find a Scripture to counter it (e.g., "I can do all things through Christ" – Philippians 4:13).  

3. Declare It Aloud: Speak God’s Word over your fear daily.  

 Prayer:  

"Lord, break every chain of fear in my mind. Fill me with boldness to pursue what You’ve placed in my heart. I refuse to let fear steal my destiny. Amen."
