What can fear do to you?

What can fear do to you? It seems a lot. Anxiety, fear, and worry are reported to be mentally and physically harmful. Jere Daniel, in a Psychology Today column titled “Learning to Love Growing Old,” wrote: “Fear of aging speeds the very decline we dread most. And it ultimately robs our life of any meaning.”

I’m discovering that we experience what we think and that fear seems to be able to negatively touch every part of the body, if we allow it. Because of this, I’ve found it effective to filter my thoughts through spiritual reasoning. Many call this prayer.

. . . Fear is not a power to be battled with and defeated. The thought, “I am afraid,” is not mine. Not only can we affirm mentally that fear isn’t ours, we can also know that no power apart from God can govern our being.
