\u201cThe only thing we have to fear, is fear itself,\u201d said President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the worst moment of the depression in the 1930\u2019s.\u00a0 He was right. Fear is not always useful.\u00a0 It often just gets in the way.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, our natural instinct of fear is helpful, such as to avoid falling, getting hurt, or entering dangerous situations.\u00a0 Other times, the fear isn\u2019t productive or even rational.<\/p>\n
You may fear trying something new that you\u2019re not used to.\u00a0 Or perhaps the fear is about finishing something.\u00a0 Or fear of making changes.\u00a0 Ask yourself if your fear is something you\u2019re experienced before, then ask yourself what happened in the past.\u00a0 Was it a good outcome?\u00a0 Did you need to be afraid?<\/p>\n
As someone who not only believes in God, but also knows that God is real and with me, I\u2019ve been able to put most of my old fears aside.\u00a0 With the grace of God, I know that I am not only protected, I\u2019m guided.\u00a0 I gave my entire life over to God almost 20 years ago, and even though I sometimes catch myself with some fears, I\u2019ve learned to just hand them over to God and ask for His wonderful help.\u00a0 That help is always there, no matter what may come.<\/p>\n
With the total love and presence of God, I don\u2019t fear so much.\u00a0 There\u2019s no need to be afraid.\u00a0 God loves me, takes care of me, and will be with me always and forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
