Are you intimidated?
Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today.

One of the greatest threats to freedom is the fear of man. The Bible says, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” (Proverbs 29:25, NIV)
friend, do you try to gain people’s approval? Are you afraid of being rejected, ridiculed or hated for being the real you?
I’ll never forget the day God spoke to my mind: “Paul, you have been dominated by the fear of rejection.” I was sitting with my wife, enjoying our Sunday pizza gathering after church, when this thought came to my mind. I remember the tears that started running onto my slice of pizza.
My wife asked me what was wrong, and I had to tell her the truth: I was crippled by a fear of rejection. I had been teaching a book by Robert McGee titled Search for Significance. It listed the four primary emotions people struggle with:
- Fear of failure
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of punishment
- Shame
