My Prayer This Morning – Fearlessness vs Arrogance

My prayer this morning in my daily time with God went something like this…

Lord, please don’t let fear stop me from doing the things you want me to do.  Also, please don’t let stupidity or arrogance drive me to do things I shouldn’t be doing.

There’s this fine like between being fearless and being oblivious.

I don’t want to fear to ever stop me from doing things.  (Honestly, too many times it has.)  At the same time, I don’t want to ignore obvious pitfalls or let hubris lead me astray.

As I see it, my only hope is the careful direction and care of the Lord.  He knows what I can safely disregard and what should truthfully concern me.

I refuse to live a life bound by fear.  I also refuse to walk the path of the fool that never looks ahead.  My goal therefore is to walk as closely as I can to the Lord and trust Him to help me navigate these wonderful and dangerous terrific waters.

Lead me, Lord.  Lead me.
