Giving way to Fear

I read tonight in a statement on fear that once you give in to one form of fear, you then give way to hosts of other fears. It goes like this, "I'm afraid of not having enough money, which leads to, now I'm afraid that I can't provide for my family, and then, If I can't provide for my family then we'll have to sell our house and move somewhere else, and so on and so on."
The idea of conquering our fears with Christ is something that is quite contrary to our nature..first we do seem to "like" to worry, and then, of course, we try to fix it on our own before we turn to Christ.
If only my friends, we did things differently, we could save ourselves of the sleepless nights, stomach aches and emotional roller coasters we send ourselves on.
Wringing our hands in fear is not God's idea of problem solving.
The flip side of fear is trust, and trusting in the only REAL form of unchangeable truth is where we are going to find our fear demolished and replaced by peace.

And because of Ps. 91:6 which says, "I am not afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. No evil will befall me neither any plague will come near my dwelling place, for God’s angels have charge over me, to keep me in all my ways." I do not fear when catastrophic things happen around me. My undying faith in You, oh Lord, keeps my heart at rest, and I believe your angels are protecting me wherever I go.

Fears are real, fears are easy to come by, but faith and trust that result in peace is available to you. It does not mean we won't still have things that frighten us, I am afraid of many things, but in my fright, I run to the cross and find my refuge. Because really friends, where else can we run where we KNOW that there is someone there all the time, never sleeping, never forgetting to answer the phone, never unavailable. This Being, this God, is waiting, longing and when you open your mouth and utter words of "desire for rescue," you had better believe He is there to flood your heart and mind with the peace you SO long for. Open the Bible, search the Psalms, write down what He tells you in those pages..
One thing I know friends, He is real. More real that any fear that the foes of this world desire to drag you down with. Our Lord, is bigger, truer and more faithful than any dark scary haunting shadow that places itself in your path.
"Fear not, for I am with you always." (Isaiah 41:10) This my friends is the promise that He leaves us with.
Believe those words, and watch as your courage takes flight.
