How Do You Handle Fear

Have you ever walked around in life having to deal with a secret that you felt you couldn’t tell anyone about? Maybe that secret had to do with you getting fired from work, getting evicted from your apartment, testing positive for the HIV virus, or maybe someone finding out about your sexual orientation. Whatever that secret was you said to yourself “I can’t let anyone find out about this.” But do you know the real and true reason why you ‘felt’ you couldn’t disclose that secret? You were dealing with fear. F.E.A.R. (false evidence appearing real) is what the enemy uses to try to keep you from rising to your fullest potential that God has purposely planned and designed for your life.Can you remember the last time that you were faced with a real serious problem? How did you handle that problem? Did you begin worrying and questioning whether or not things were going to work out ok in your favor? Or did you begin to stand on what the word of God has said concerning your life?
