In many circumstances fear is natural. God made us with that capacity. But this powerful emotion unless controlled can either stop us dead in our tracks or make us run like a scared rabbit. We can counter this paralysis, panic reaction by putting our faith in God and praising His Word. When gripped by fear, we can hang on to the cross of Jesus and trust in His love. Afraid? Trust God and remind yourself of His love for you in Christ. Fear may not suddenly evaporate, but trusting God and praising His Word will prevent panic and strengthen us to go on. Is it not true, that sometimes the simplest truths are the best truths, when life confronts us with more than we think we can handle? ~Psalm 56:3
