by Joyce Meyer, while I am enjoying this book I've reached a part that has caused me a bit of confusion. I'm thinking that maybe this confusion is just a personal thing for me and someone can give me some insight.Meyer writes about doing things on purpose, not waiting till she "feels like" doing them. She writes about not being afraid or doing things afraid, so as to not let fear rule you. That I get. But she also says things about how she, at times, will decline speaking invitations or other such things because she doesn't have peace about it.
My problem is this: how do you know the difference between something being a fear and it just not setting right with your spirit?
I considered prayer as the answer, and maybe it is. For prayer to be the answer though, a person would have to be completely open to hear God and be able to tell the difference between what God is saying to them and what their own feelings about the situation are, something that is incredibly hard to do if fear is involved.
