What is Fear? The dictionary defines fear as a distressing emotion aroused by an impending pain, danger, evil, etc. or by the illusion of such. Theres an important distinction here. Fear may be brought on by either a real or an imagined threat. One kind of fear is a normal response to real danger. The other kind can be an abnormal, destructive emotion when the threat of pain, danger or evil is only imaginary......................Sometimes we experience anxiety that is out of proportion to the danger or unpleasantness of a situation. A panic attack is evidence of anxiety that is out of control. Regardless of the cause, fear that controls or limits your life can rob you of all that God has for you. Thats why He has so much to say about it in the Bible. And thats where to begin looking for ways to achieve victory over fear. Scripture tells us to fear God. Rather than fright, this sort of fear is better understood as an attitude of reverence and awe toward God Almighty...................Pray about your fears. Prayer is the pathway to the peace of God which passes all understanding (Philippians 4:6,7). Ask God to help you overcome fear. He wants you to be free from its shackles so that you can enjoy the abundant life He has for you........... He will surely see us through the events in Nigeria.
