FEAR FIGHTER

Do you look at the horizon and see an opportunity or do you look into the distance and fear a problem?

Fear is a poor chisel to carve out your tomorrows. If you are looking at your future from a position of fear, I want to let you know that view is inaccurate and distorted. It’s never save to look at the future with the eyes of fear. The worst liars in the world are your own fears. One of the great discoveries you can make is to find that you can do what you were afraid you couldn’t do. William Ward showed the difference between faith and worry: “Worry is faith in the negative, trust in the unpleasant, assurance of disaster and belief in defeat. Worry is a magnet that attracts negative conditions. Faith is more powerful force that creates positive circumstances… Worry is wasting today’s time to clutter up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s troubles.”
Dale Carnegie wrote, “An old man was asked what had robbed him of joy in his life. His reply was, ‘Things that never happened.” Fear wants you to run from things that aren’t after you. Here’s what I do. I follow this famous advice: “At night, I give all my worries and fears to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway.” 1Peter 5:7 puts it this way: “Let Him have your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.”
