Welcome!!! Brother Saigado!! First off you are partly correct. (Psalm 118:8) However you should NEVER!!!!! have fear!!!! Because our Lord never gave you a spirit of fear, notice this brother!!! Fear is governed by a spirit!!!( 2 Tim 1:7) But rather of POWER and LOVE and best of all a SOUND MIND!!! That my good brother is what to focus your mindset on!! (Phil 4:7-9!!!)
Its takes training of course, but we are in training until we reach our dear Jesus in heaven, I call it Holy Spirit school! LOL (Rom 12:1-2!!) I learned early that if I make mistakes in life which I have, I can never blame someone I listened to!! I made them!!! And best of all I learned better because of it!! No excuses!!!
The only damage you will have is by placing your faith in the wrong direction brother, I just know I am going to fail this or that, that will happen because you already lost to start with! Your faith is in failure??? NEVER Brother!! By placing our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, you can never fail, you can make a mistake sure!!
But we fail when we place are trust in others and become non teachable. The disciples all made mistakes!!! (Matt26:56) So, we will to! BUT!!!!! What does Jesus say???(1 John 5:1-5) also Rom 8:26-39!!!) We learn to place our Faith in God's Word DAILY!!! rather than how we may feel! Please read 2 Tim Brother for your study, it only contains 4 chapters, but it says everything you need to be both aware of and follow in the walk of a true disciple which like me we strive to gain! (James 1:22) Jesus is not a hobby!!
He is as we are and wants us to treat him as you would your best friend, which of course he is!! Hope I did not talk to much here LOL, I just believe in my Spirit of the Lord in me that he has great plans for you and your family but you good brother must take the lead!! The question now only remains, will you? Only you can answer that brother, but you have both our love in Jesus as well as our prayers!!! Again welcome!!
