Anxiety is intense fear. It can be chronic. It can make you sick; keep you bed ridden; destroy relations as well as have many other negative affects. Anxiety & fear desire to reside in our minds. David wrote in Psalms 56:3 “WHEN I am afraid I will trust in you”. God knows that we will all experience fear or doubts. God is aware this is a powerful weapon of the devil and his imps.

The first of the five times I have been robbed at gunpoint I literally felt so fearful that my knees buckled. One gun was in may face & another man had a gun on Dottie. I froze! I did not sleep for 2 weeks. The thought that one shot would take my wife away forever overwhelmed my mind. I hugged Dottie tighter from then on. I thank God for each day I awaken with her at my side.

Fear is unfair. It is a mist that you swing at but cannot hit. It haunts you during the day & causes you to toss and turn at night. It replays EVERY negative aspect of what-could-have-been.

How did God’s people handle, control and overcome their fear? I am writing to myself. It is my fears that I am fighting. God has the answer so we will seek it  in this blog the next few days. You can feel free to write what you feel will help me.
