Have You Heard Yet?
Melissa Taylor’s next on-line bible study begins March 25. She will be taken women from all over the world through a study of my book, An Untroubled Heart.
Is your heart troubled? Is it burdened and heavy with worry and fear? I know that awful feeling. I also found the remedy.
Faith is the antidote to fear.
I have to be honest. While I have been liberated from some fears, others still plague me. That’s when knowing God’s remedy for fear comes in handy. I’ve learned to live by the principles in my book. Doing so allows me to lay down my worries, fears and anxiety and trust in the provision of my heavenly Father.
That’s why I’m so excited about this study. God’s truths set us free!
Words such as worry, fear, stress, and anxiety were never meant to be apart of our vocabulary. Yet, we live in a world that gives us much to worry about. I’ve learned that peace is NOT the absence of pressure, but the Presence of God in the midst of trouble.
I’ve also learned that worry takes my focus off of God, but when I focus on God I worry less.
These are only a tid-bit of what you’ll discover in this study. God has so much more for you!

My biggest fear? There are so many! To sum it up, probably not knowing the future and what God’s plans are for us. I know what the scriptures say and believe them in my head, but trusting with my heart doesn’t come so easy for me. That was shown to me when my husband recently lost his job. I was trying to be strong on the outside but inside was a wreck. What are we going to do now? Panic! Well, my husband lost his job on a Friday and got a new job by that following Tuesday (just started this week)! God’s plans were so much more than I hoped for. I was so grateful but also felt very small and guilty for not trusting God like I know he wants me to. So, I know without a doubt this is something I really, really need to work on!

I think my greatest fear is finding out that I’m not doing what God has called me to do. Working hard to pay attention to His promptings and confirmations.
I’m looking forward to studying your book with Melissa!

Melanie Shannon says
I have fears – my silliest being scared of cats. Drives my animal loving family crazy but cats terrify me and I am not talking about big cats. I am talking about your ordinary house cat. I think I could face a lion before I stay alone in the house with Garfield. 🙂 And I have my worries – husband, kids, job, finances. But I guess my biggest fear is not living up to my potential that God has set out for me. Not hearing His voice and not being the woman He created & desires me to be. I am so thankful for you Micca and the Proverbs 31 Women for doing what God has called you to do. I am excited about this next study.

Fear? Sometimes it feels like my midle name. My biggest fear… our son has turned his back on us. No explanation, just a cold silence. Access to our grandson has been taken away. It is so hard to trust God with him, he is our only child. I would love to win a copy of your book, I need this study. Thanks for your words.

My greatest fear is not being able to overcome the enemy in fighting Post Traumatic Stress and Anorexia. My fear is winning and I so want my faith to win out. Thank you for this opportunity. I need to read your book again. I had it, read it quite a while ago and gave it to someone at church who was going through a very tough time. Thank you for this opportunity.
Blessings,
Carol says
One of my biggest, is letting my friends down.
Jennifer says
There are so many I have that I try to turn over daily to God, but then my mind starts working and I am back to worrying. One of my biggest is probably failure as a wife, mother, daughter of the King, etc. I want to do my best, but so often life sets in then guilt starts and I can’t stop my mind from working.
Fannie in Kansas says
I think my biggest fear is not living up to what God has in store for me and failing to do His will for my life. This, I believe, is one of Satan’s favorite things to use against me.
Amy Raftery says
Micca, my biggest fear is what would happen to my beautiful son Kyle if/when I am no longer here to help take care of him. Kyle is a wonderful young man of 15 and has a diagnosis of autism. He is so smart in many ways but would not be able to live independently. I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor and even though I am a young 45yrs. of age always worry about the cancer returning. I believe in God, just have a hard time believing Him sometimes….I know this is probably the enemy telling me lies to make me feel insecure and doubt. I look forward to reading your book!
Julie says
Mine is fear of failure….but that is not why I left a comment. I really just have a question about this book. I have a 13 year old girl in my youth group that has a spirit of fear in a lot of areas in her life. Would this book be a good read for her or is it too mature for her. If it is too mature, is there something on a teenage level that would give her this same message? Thanks!
Sheila says
My fear is never being able to witness to people about our Lord Jesus Christ,my mouth just wont let the words come out,another fear is we our studying Women Mentoring Women in our local church and each week we are given another lady to mentor, I pray each time that I may be honoring God as I speak the these ladies. I would love to be able to win a book,I cant afford to buy one I am on disability and get a fixed income,the amount I get goes out when my check comes in. Our church usually supplys our books. If at all possible to win one I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank-you Ladies,for all you do for us,Love and May God Bless!!
Carolann Luersen says
My biggest fear is rejection. I have been married twice, divorced twice. My first husband, a pastor, left me and the ministry for another woman. My second husband was abusive and I left him when I was afraid things were about to get even worse. During the times of my greatest fear, I meditated on Philippians 4:8-9.”Finally, (Carolann), whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in Me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” HE is still with me today!
Jen says
The fear of not facing some of the “giants” that have formed in my life. God is taking me through a season where I am really having to face several deeply rooted lies and the process at times is scarry because i’ve run away by striving to do things on my own or fix myself. It’s kind of like me being an open heart surgeon and trying to perform surgery on my own wounded heart. As I write this it seems so silly yet this pattern has weaved itself in such a way that its mind numbing. So my biggest fear is “I’m never going to change”. In January I was so low and desperately looking for hope, direction … a word from God. I googled Proverbs 31 having no idea of the resources when I clicked on Proverbs 31 woman’s link. I’ve yet to try an online bible study but when I saw this today I feel I need to be better equipped to allow God’s truth to really penetrate and uproot this fear.
Sherry says
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts”. Colossians 3:15 My new verse for today. I want to learn to let peace surround me and keep pace as I step out the door,to protect my heart from the fears the follow me each day.
Evalyn says
My biggest fear right now is that my troubled marriage is over. Husband of 26 years is unhappy, is ambivalent about working on it and wants to leave.
Denise says
I live my life in fear of everything! I am so afraid something is going to happen to one of my loved ones. I don’t want them to live their lives fully because of what might happen to them.
Holly says
Wow, what a combination: devotion, blog, & video! I like to say I know God loves me & that I don’t have an issue with that, but there is a big difference between knowing it and believing it. Due to things in the past I really struggle with believing that anyone could really love me. A number of things lately point toward God wanting me to move beyond “knowing” to “believing” — learning the difference & doing it. Thank you so much for sharing.
