How to Overcome Fear Overall

Fear can be paralyzing when it's not welcomed.

It can stop you from accomplishing what God wants you to do, prevent you from moving forward, and cause you mental harm (if you let it).

Let's see what the Bible has to say when there are moments of fear: 

Let's break down the scripture: 

Acknowledge the fact that God didn't give you His Spirit so you can fear. God never wanted you to feel fear. Emotions can lie to you. Circumstances shouldn't shake you to remove your faith in God. 

There's no fear God can't remove from your life. 

God's Spirit is powerful enough against anything trying to tear you down. Able to give you strength on the days you need it the most. 

God gave you a Spirit of love and was able to keep your mind sober. Meaning able to counsel you so that you won't take the wrong turn in life.

Learn that fear is only an emotion but there's unhealthy fear. There's normal fear. 

An example would be: 

when there's any kind of danger. Your body is automatically reacting to the danger along with your brain.

Unhealthy fear example: 

Not being able to sleep at night because you fear an outcome of a good choice.

Results of allowing unhealthy fear to keep you: 

-it could be due to traumatic events. 

-it could be because of stress levels. 

-you wouldn't be able to enjoy your life because of it. 

-fear of entrusting yourself to God leads to a lack of trust in God. 

-fear of what can happen to you if you take a step of faith can result in never actually taking that step of faith. 

-fear paralyzes you from fulfilling the will of God. 

-fearing an outcome can affect those around you and near you. 

Let go of fear and trust in God. 

Here is a list of scriptures regarding fear: 

Isaiah 41:10

Psalm 34:4

Proverbs 29:25

Psalms 56:3-4

Romans 8:15

Overcome fear by just simply remaining faithful to God. Fear was meant to distract you, destroy you, and hinder you. The solution is to not surrender to fear and ask God through prayer to lift you up, help you to continue your race (your life), your mission (God's commands for your life), etc.

May God's Word comfort you!
