Unleash Your Fearless Self: The Boldness Of A Lion
I wish I could tell you that all is well. That the world is at peace. That people are walking in confidence, thriving without fear. But let’s be honest—many of us are struggling.
Maybe you feel it too. The quiet fear that whispers, “What if I fail?” The hesitation that keeps you from speaking up, stepping forward, or fully embracing what you know is yours to claim. But hear me: fear is a liar. You were not created to shrink back. You were not designed to live small. You were meant to be bold.
What’s holding you back?
"The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." – Proverbs 28:1
After a recent Hour of Meditation session, a woman shared a powerful testimony. She had just moved into a new apartment when she saw a mouse run into her bedroom. Fear gripped her. She jumped on the bed, screaming, like she always had in the past. But this time, something shifted. She remembered the authority she carried. She looked at the mouse and commanded, “Get out now.”
Immediately, the mouse stopped, turned around, and ran out of the room—never to be seen again. When she later told the caretakers of the building, they said it was impossible for a mouse to be that high up in the apartment complex. But she knew what had happened. Fear had been trying to reclaim its place in her life, and she had shut it down.
Some fears come in the form of small, daily encounters—others feel like towering giants. But all fear must bow when confronted with boldness.
Have you seen what God is doing?
In Ezekiel 47:3-6, the prophet Ezekiel was led into deeper and deeper water. First ankle-deep. Then knee-deep. Then waist-deep. Until finally, he found himself in waters so deep he had to swim. God could have thrown him straight into the deep end. But He didn’t. He took him through the process, step by step. That’s how boldness is built.
It doesn’t happen overnight. It grows with every step you take. But here’s the problem: we don’t always see what’s happening. We focus so much on where we aren’t that we forget to notice how far we’ve already come.
Have you seen how God has been preparing you for more? Have you noticed how much stronger you’ve become? How the things that once terrified you don’t shake you like they used to? You are already stepping into courage—you just need to recognize it.
A guided meditation for boldness.
Take a moment. Find stillness. Breathe in deeply… hold it… now exhale.
As you breathe, picture yourself standing before a lion.
Look at its strength. Its unwavering stance. Its unshaken confidence.
Now, see yourself as that lion.
Your fears? They shrink in your presence.
Your doubts? They scatter like dust.
Your spirit? Unshaken. Bold. Unstoppable.
Stepping into boldness.
Meditation isn’t just about being still—it’s about engaging with truth. Right now, take these steps:
