What makes men and women feel secure will differ, depending on their age and circumstances, their personality and temperament, as well as what has been learned from childhood onward. The opposite of feeling secure is feeling vulnerable and unprotected, which tends to create anxiety.
Feelings of insecurity can be conquered by not allowing fear to dominate your life. So face the reality of your situation rather than permit your imagination to create ways to avoid taking positive action. Fear must be subdued, or else it will take control of your thoughts and behavior.
When God told Abraham to move to where he would show him, he encountered obstacles and uncertainty that threatened his commitment to God. After it happened he acknowledged his failure and returned to God’s guidance and the faith God provided. Whatever you’re facing at this moment, believe God will empower you to stay within his boundaries and plans for you.
[Jesus
said,] “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can
snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater
than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are
one.”
~John
10:28-30 New International Version
