Set 'em ablaze

So last night I couldn't sleep. Not at all. I was up till 2:00 last night.

I had so many things running through my mind. So many bad things. All of my doubts surfaced last night. Trust me, I have a lot of them. Way to many to list here. So I have these doubts. For over an hour last night I sat right here at my desk and ran these doubts through my mind over and over and over.

So I decided I HAD to do something. I knew I couldn't sit around and let my doubts take control. I had to do something about these doubts. So I wrote them down on stick-it notes and stuck them to the door.


So I stuck all of my doubts to the door of my office. Then, I walked out and shut the door behind me. I left my doubts in that room and didn't let them come out. Then I sat down in the living room, and I prayed. I prayed that God would remove all of these doubts from my mind. I asked that I would look to Him to be all the things that I felt I wasn't. I asked Him to use me despite the doubts that come up in my mind.

Next, I made sure those doubts would never come back. I went into my office, pulled my doubts off the door, took them outside, and I set them on fire.


After the flames died down, this was all that was left of my doubts.


I can't tell you how much better I felt after I burned my doubts. See, now that all that was left of my doubts were ashes, I couldn't read them any more. Those words that filled my mind and consumed my fears were gone. Never to seen again.

What doubts do you have that need to set on fire?
