Welcome to the Missing Link Blog. A space created to provide the essentials you need to connect with God, live in purpose, and develop and grow into your best.
Fear can literally paralyze the view of yourself, your dreams, and your ability to make things happen. It’s time to overcome the barriers that keep you living below your full potential, one courageous step at a time.
This article will teach you how to eliminate doubts, fears, worries, and anxiety to fearlessly live as yourself. You’ll be reminded to view yourself through the eyes of God so you may grow confident in who you were created to be; soaring beyond thoughts, heights, and limits designed in an attempt to keep you small.
Main Takeaways:
God will never leave your side. No matter how dark it gets, God’s love will always reside.
God does not think in fear! God is love, and love….is always with you.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
It is better to believe than to doubt. Use your mind to your advantage.
Being yourself gives you the wings to fly heights beyond your wildest dreams.
Living your best life requires you to courageously step forward; going beyond feelings of doubt and fear. Allow these biblical verses to soothe your mind and heart in God’s promises for you; remembering who you are and the safety that abides in God's unwavering love and faithfulness.
When God describes himself - the attributes are positive, loving, supportive, successful, blessed, covered….the list of goodness could go on and on. Fear and doubt are attributes that do not represent or reflect who God is.
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Today, I want to spend this time providing you with scriptures that help you remember who you have on your side, in your heart, all around you, at all times. God will never leave you nor forsake you (1 Kings 8:57) and his track record for keeping his word is perfect, so why fear? Why worry? Why doubt?
When I’m carrying those kind of feelings, it's usually because I have allowed something, including my own thoughts, steer me away from remembering that God is with me, loves me, and only wants the best for me - when I face my fears, I’m giving myself the opportunity to grow more into who God has called me to be.
Below are the scriptures I want you to read and memorize. They describe the goodness and love of God. When you are carrying those ungodly feelings around, find these and remember…God is with you.
Here are 10 Reasons you Should Overcome Fear and F.LY:
Fearlessly Live as Yourself!
God Is:
Flowing in Kindness

God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God"; Psalm 145:8 "The LORD is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love"; and Psalm 147:5 "Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.."
Giving from the Heart
John 3:16 "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."; Ephesians 2:4-5 "But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when He raised Christ from the Dead."; Lamentations 3:22-23 "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning."; and Psalm 136:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever."
God Don't Play!
Psalm 24:8 "Who is this King of glory? The LORD is strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle."
Just Trying to Love You
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."; and Ephesians 2:4-5 "But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead."
Truthful Always
Psalm 145:17 "The Lord is righteous in all His ways and faithful in all He does."; Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"; Numbers 23:19 "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?”; and 1 Samuel 15:29 ‘He who is the Glory of Israel, does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”
A Caring Guide

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake."; and Psalm 116:5 "The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion."
A Protector
Psalm 91:1-2 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."; and Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."
God Heals and Sustains You
Exodus 15:26 "If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
God Created and Manages Everything...and is Handing out Blessings!
Psalm 103:19 "The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His Kingdom rules over all; 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.."
A Rich & Generous Father
Philippians 4:19 "And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." and; Revelations 21:5 "He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Instructions:
Read the scriptures.
Write out the scriptures in your faith-filled journal or notebook and remember who is with you when feeling uncertain, lost, or afraid.
Fearlessly Live as Yourself!
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)
If feelings arise that don’t make you feel a powerful burst of love and self confidence they are not of God, but don’t worry, You’re not alone in experiencing these feelings and thoughts. It’s our response to fear that allows us to either increase the doubt or release it all. When fear arises, take time to intimately connect with God. Remember, no matter where those fears originate, He is right there with you, loving on you and ensuring that you are victorious.
Embrace the power. Embrace the love. Embrace the confidence.
God is with you.
