Freedom from phobias

Ann L. Grauberger

Sometimes evil can seem to come at us from out of nowhere in the form of a completely irrational fear. This fear may seem so real that we believe we have a big problem to solve or hurdle to overcome. It can be doubly perplexing because often we can't quite put our finger on what the problem is.

Even these perplexing fears—sometimes called phobias—can be dispelled with the light of Christ, Truth, and seen for what they really are: nothing. This light comes into our consciousness with the prayer of persistent affirmation and acknowledgment of our true, spiritual nature as God's idea. Christ Jesus taught—and demonstrated—this true selfhood of man in God's image.
