The healing of torturous fear when alone at night in my suburban home is the incentive for expressing my sincerest gratitude to God, to divine Love, who "casteth out fear."

I live in a quiet community that has a special security officer patrolling the streets all through the night. However, this was not enough to disperse my fear. When alone at night, I could neither sleep nor rest until the early hours of the morning. It was an intense fear I could not overcome.

Well-meaning friends and relatives suggested that I buy a dog, bolt down the windows with spikes, or buy a gadget that would turn the lights on and off in various rooms at night. For a while, I considered doing these things, but then I realized that all these were material methods and neither a dog, a spike, nor a gadget had power to heal me permanently of fear, for fear is mental. But I knew that God could.
