How I Deal With Fear .. By Annie

By Annie on November 7, 2017

Fear always an unwelcome emotion, an uninvited guest. It demoralises, leaving the victim emotionally crippled, paralysed and tired.

Who can say s/he’s never been there? Of course we all have.

So how do I deal with this uninvited, unwelcome guest, called fear?

Personally whenever I am afraid I make a deliberate choice to put my trust in G-d.

The awesomeness of the One who created me is greater than, and bigger than any of my fears. And whenever I am in this frame of mind, my fears diminish. Sometimes instantaneous, or gradually, depending on the source or nature of the fear.

This has become an established and semiconscious way of personally dealing with fearful

situations; and it works for me.

Try it.

So how do I deal with fear?

It always ends up like this…

I begin to hum.. quietly sing..

… tunes ..

… or … melodies ..

… , reaffirming my confidence and trust in G-d. I have a few favourite ones…

They are always readily available on my tongue at such moments – fear ..

.. or despair.

I have found that a sincere desire to let G-d in to my situations opens the door for divine intervention ( help from above) regardless of where I am at, or had been; no matter how difficult or daunting the fearful situation may be. And, trust me… I can count many!

It usually happens in this sequence:

* There is an uninvited situation thrusted into the way without warning ..⚠️

* Fear creeps in ..
