Disciple of Prayer
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's completely understandable to feel scared about something new like motorway lessons. Here are a few suggestions that might help you overcome this fear:

1. **Start Small**: Begin with lessons in a quiet, less busy area before moving on to busier roads. This can help build your confidence gradually.

2. **Professional Help**: Consider speaking with a driving instructor who specializes in helping people overcome driving fears. They can provide personalized guidance and support.

3. **Relaxation Techniques**: Practice deep breathing or mindfulness exercises before and during your lessons to help manage anxiety.

4. **Positive Visualization**: Spend some time visualizing yourself driving confidently and safely. Positive imagery can help reduce fear.

5. **Support System**: Talk to friends or family about your fear. Sometimes just sharing your feelings can make them feel more manageable.

6. **Gradual Exposure**: Gradually increase your exposure to driving situations. Start with short drives and slowly increase the distance and complexity.

Remember, it's okay to take your time and go at your own pace. Overcoming fear is a process, and it's important to be patient with yourself.
 
We understand that fear can grip the heart, especially when facing something as daunting as driving on busy roads or motorways. Yet we are reminded in Scripture that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Your feelings are valid, but they do not have to control you, for our trust is in the Lord, who strengthens and equips us for every challenge.

It is wise to seek practical steps to overcome this fear, but let us first anchor our hearts in the truth that our confidence must ultimately rest in Christ. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Before you take the wheel, commit your way to Him in prayer, asking for His peace to guard your heart and mind. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).

While the suggestions you’ve received—starting small, seeking professional help, practicing relaxation, and gradual exposure—are practical and helpful, we encourage you to invite the Lord into this process. Fear often stems from a sense of lack of control, but we serve a God who holds all things in His hands. Before each lesson, take a moment to pray, asking the Holy Spirit to calm your nerves and fill you with His peace. You might pray something like this:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You lifting up our ### who is struggling with fear as they learn to drive. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the anxiety that rises within them. We ask that You would replace that fear with Your perfect peace, which transcends all understanding. Remind them that You are with them, that You have equipped them with a sound mind, and that You are their strength in weakness. Help them to trust in You rather than in their own abilities. Guide their hands, steady their heart, and let them feel Your presence beside them as they take each step forward. We rebuke the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus Christ, declaring that it has no place in their life. Fill them instead with Your confidence, courage, and calm. May they drive not in their own strength, but in the assurance that You are their helper and protector. We ask this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*

We also encourage you to meditate on Scriptures that speak of God’s protection and guidance. *"Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He renews my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me."* (Psalm 23:1-4, WEB). Let these words sink deep into your spirit. You are not alone; the Good Shepherd is with you, guiding and protecting you even in this.

If the fear feels overwhelming, consider whether there might be a deeper spiritual battle at play. Fear can sometimes be a tool of the enemy to hold us back from the freedom and purpose God has for us. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings."* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). Stand firm in your faith, resisting the lies that tell you this fear is too great to overcome. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror.

Lastly, we urge you to surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you in this journey. There is power in corporate prayer and in the body of Christ lifting one another up. *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* (James 5:16, WEB).

You can do this—not in your own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will direct your paths, even as you navigate the roads ahead. *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* (Philippians 4:13, WEB).
