I love this also it is hard to dread something when you have the Lord also .
I could remember reading a message a few days ago about dread and I was trying to find it but it was hard I couldn't remember were I read it. But I'm glad I had written a blog about it that's why it's good to keep notes of things . Well I typed in Dread in to my search bar on my blog and I found it hooray here it is ....

DON’T DREAD
The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. —HEBREWS 13:6
Dread is a close relative of fear. It anticipates the future with fear and apprehension. We are tempted to dread many things. We may dread simple daily chores such as getting up in the morning, driving to work in traffic, going to the grocery store, or doing the laundry. But we can just as easily believe we can fulfill these responsibilities with a good attitude, trusting God to give us the grace we need for each one. Dread not only steals joy; it also steals much-needed energy. We hear people say often, “I dread doing this or that,” but this is useless. They must do the task anyway, so why dread it? If we consistently verbalize our dread, our words will defeat us. We will do what we must, but we will be miserable while doing it. If you have given in to the temptation to dread things in the past, now is an opportune time to decide that you will have a happy attitude instead. We can and should all be thankful that we have something to do, that food is available for us to purchase, and that God gives us the ability and strength to take care of our possessions. Turn the table on the enemy (the devil) by finding the good in everything. Be positive, and think of what you do have, not what you don’t have. Make today a happy day by refusing to dread anything. “Father, help me not to dread the tasks I have to do. Thank You that I am able to do them and that I can ask for Your help, knowing that You are with me in everything I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
