Anxiety

The biggest fear of mine is not being loved--loving others more than they love me. But perfect love casts out all fear. My love is not perfect nor is the love of others. Only God's love is perfect.

In order to feel totally secure, I need to love my Creator and embrace His love for me.

Lord, may I depend on you and not other people for love.

What is bringing out this fear is my birthday party. I just want to be with the people I love, but I'm afraid that people would rather do other things than come to my birthday party. I still can't believe it when certain people I view as "popular" want to hang out with me. That's not healthy. But I sometimes live in fear that I'll ruin my friendships with them. That I won't be everything they think I am.

Despite my best efforts, I'm not that big of a deal.
