Living in Fear versus Faith - Which Will Prevail?

Living in Fear versus Faith - Which Will Prevail?
Fear is a normal part of life. Just as you might respond
in surprise or anger to certain situations, other
circumstances may rightly inspire fear. But when it begins
to loom so large that you are stopped in your tracks, fear
has become a burden to your progress and emotional outlook.

Fear Undercuts Your Confidence

If you lack confidence and feel insecure, fear may be at
the root of the problem. Our fears can cause us to
hesitate in pursuing an idea, and when we miss an
opportunity, we might begin to doubt we will ever achieve
or amount to anything. From there a person may go spiraling
down into depression. We start believing we can't do
things instead of thinking that we can. If fear goes
unchecked, always prevailing in the fear versus faith
equation, it can lead to defeat and self-pity.

Fear Hinders Your Success

When we start asking "what if" questions, our fears can
overtake us. Fear leads us to stop short of taking any
risks that might lead to success. Unhealthy fear views
risks as paths to pain that must be avoided at any cost.
However the real misery comes later, when we wonder how
successful we might have been, if only we had not allowed
our fears to bar the way.

Fear Can Be Overcome

The cycle of fear can and must be broken if things are
going to change for the better. What we must do first is
choose to find and confront our fears and decide to break
free. We may need the encouragement and support of people
we trust or a counselor to help us at this point. Then we
must be tackle what we have been fearing to do and begin
doing it right away. Boldly stepping forward will help us
regain some confidence and begin to change our habit of
shrinking back or avoiding certain actions out of fear.

Overcoming fear does not mean you will never experience it
again. To live productively, you don't allow your fears to
control or dominate you; rather, you control your fear.
Fear and regret go hand in hand. If you want to have as
few regrets as possible and start living life to the full,
you must determine not to let fear thwart the dreams and
ambitions you have. Then you can move ahead with
confidence and hope, cowering in misery no more. You have
the opportunity to choose between the stifling effects of
fear versus faith that is able to inspire you toward new
possibilities.
