God incarnate is the end of fear; and the heart that realizes He is in the midst will be quiet in the middle of alarm. F. B. Meyer Read: Isaiah 41:10 In her book Tame Your Fears, Carol Kent isolates and defines five forms of fear that can paralyze an individual: the fear of things that haven�t happened yet, the fear of being vulnerable, the fear of abandonment, the fear of truth, and the fear of making wrong choices. She writes: �Identifying our fears and admitting we have a problem is only the beginning. . . . The first step in finding a solution is to acknowledge that there are times when we question our faith and struggle with fear. . . . �Fear becomes �comfortable� because it�s familiar. We�re used to feeling like powerless subjects in the fear monster�s kingdom. Instead of taming the monster and enjoying our lives, we allow ourselves to die slowly by many of the following prescriptions: denial, addictions, withdrawal, control, shame, and self-hatred. . . . �Facing our fear head-on can feel intensely risky. But it can be a stepping stone to humble faith, renewed confidence, appropriate power and courage, and trusting reverence toward a sovereign, powerful, and loving God. �Perfect love casts out fear.� (1 John 4:18) It�s in the Bible. And it�s true.� When fear attacks, claim your position as God�s child and accept His victory. He has overcome the crippling power of fear and this is your greatest asset: His power living in you. | |||||||||||||||||
