“Do not be afraid.” Jesus
How can we deal with our fears? Can we really control them? In one since, fear is a God-given response to danger. Used properly, fear can energize us to take action and escape it. What we need to avoid is allowing our fears to cripple us. Panic can actually worsen any danger and become a danger itself. Of course, there are always dangers outside our control. What do we do then? We can still use the energy of fear to help us transfer our faith to God--much like the drowning man who looks to a lifeguard or the child who runs to daddy’s arms. Both will tell you to relax and trust them. We should! Conversations Within” ts 6/9/2015
