I believe it is because we have not the faith ti really believe that God will be with us through the whole situation. Fear of what man will say is also a factor of why we are so afraid. God is with us at all times, He has not given us a spirit of fear but one of courage. When facing fear praise God and ask Him to increase your faith and knowledge of Him, so that fear will not be what you are thinkling of but only obeying God. God alone can release you from this fear. He has given His word that where ever we go He is there. Fear will confine you, courage will set you free. Fear is a hindance to obedience, whereas courage strenghtens you to be obedient. Courage is required in leadership to get things done. A leader must be willing to face his giants and over come them with the Lord. Fear will paralyze you. In leadership you will come up against many hard situations, as man making fun of you, things the devil will try to put in front of you, you must be an overcomer to lead.
