Fear… Do you know how to conquer it?

Fear… Have any of these worries ever entered your thoughts? Have you thought any of these questions? Does this sound like you?
I worry about being alone. I worry about how we’re going to pay our bills? Will my husband find a job that leaves him fulfilled? Am I doing a good job raising my children? Will they grow up to love God? Will my teenager come home tonight? Will I ever find someone to love me? If any of these questions are troubling you, than it sounds like you might be having a tough time conquering fear.
Our heavenly Father has given us a a verse that can help you to have His peace through every trial: “Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
Take your worries, take your problems to the Lord, pray hard, thank Him for all the help he has given you in the past - and you will find the peace you are looking for!
Psalm 34:4 is another wonderful verse to memorize. “I sought the Lord and He heard me, and He delivered me from all my fears.” Whenever a fear strikes you, say that verse to yourself, close your mind to fear and it will go away. Often we may become fearful just by dwelling on something that troubles us instead of turning it over to God. Having a close relationship with the Lord is what help will help you most. Cast your fears upon him today! Don’t wait! Just give them to him!
