Fear

Fear is something that everyone struggles with at one time or another, but they're ways to not be afraid of it. There is different kinds of fear that we can experience. For example:

1) Fear of Heights

2) Fear of the Dark

3) Fear of Spiders

4) Fear of Water

5) Fear of Death

6) Fear of the Outdoors

7) Fear of being Alone

8) Fear of bees

All of these fears and the ones that I didn't list are all okay to have. There is nothing wrong with being afraid of something, but we don't have to be afraid of those things because 

If we are afraid we can go to God about it in prayer and ask him to deliver us from it. When we make the decision to finally close the door on fear and ask God to take it from us we will be better because of it. Fear doesn't have to control our lives because it shouldn't, but it tends to happen if we allow it to anchor on to us. 

It will stop us in our tracks, so we can't do anything about it in order for it to have that control. All we have to do is be brave and unhook that anchor to release it for it to not weigh us down anymore. I realize that is a scary though in and of itself because we don't want to take control of our own lives at times. Sometimes we like to have fear control us, but that isn't healthy at all because fear just gives Satan power to do what he wants and we won't be able to do anything if we allow it to happen. 

Even if we go to God and ask Him to take that fear away He doesn't necessarily answer right away and that can be very disheartening to us, but if we relinquish that fear to Him anyways He WILL take it away. We have to be able to stand up to our fear(s) and banish it in order to be able to do what we want without it getting in the way. We got this.
