Fears

I'm working on my fear inventory right now. It's part of step #4. I have to list all of my fears then answer 3 questions for each one. Those questions are 1) Why?, 2. How did self-reliance fail?, and 3. How could trusting and relying on God help? For example, one of my big fears is not being able to provide for my family. If I go through the questions, it goes like this: 1.) Why? Because I know that everyone relies on my for all of their wants and needs and I know that if I lost my job or screwed up money management, everyone I loved would suffer for it. 2.) How did self-reliance fail? Self-reliance fails because I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well at my job and I have lived in constant fear of losing my job. As a consequence I have made decisions our of fear. One of the reasons I drank was to relieve the pressure I had put on myself. 3.) How could trusing and relying on God help? The Bible says that each day has enough worries of it's own. That God provides for the birds and flowers, and that he will provide for you even more. I need to trust God to take care of all of us, because He will.
