When fear creeps in.

Fear is a terrible thing to experience. For me it has sometimes been paralyzing, bringing deep darkness into my soul and life. Fear in this way is not from God. God always brings us good things, even though they sometimes don't seem that way, God is always trying to build us up, creating Godly character within ourselves to make us more like Him. One thing I try to practice to avoid and get rid of fear is to always keep reading His word at least on a daily basis and practice what I learn. And when fear is present, the Bible says in Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Give your fear to Him, give it to Him in detail and believe that he will take care of it. But often times we give it to Him, but we really didn't. And if you have to keep giving it to Him over and over, it`s alright, until you say to yourself it`s yours Lord and you are sure. Fear is sometimes difficult to let go of, because often, what we fear is so overwhelming. But God also says in Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. As believers that love the Lord Jesus, all things work for our good, even the bad things help us in this case too. So what is there to fear, Trust in the Lord always and say, Lord what are you trying to teach me with all of this, and move forward not backwards in His wonderful plan that he has for your life as a believer.
