Fear and anxiety are normal emotions.
As normal as fear and anxiety are, these stress-makers shred our ability to be
kind, caring, and compassionate people. Fear and anxiety turn us inward towards
ourselves. Satan can and will use fear and anxiety against us at every
opportunity. When we experience fear and anxiety we must take a deep breath and
think about Christ and His assurance to be with us. We must remember to relax
and place these negative emotions in a proper perspective. Fear is the negative
emotion generated by a tangible threat. Anxiety is the negative emotion
generated by an intangible threat. Fear is the result of something real.
Anxiety is the result of something imagined. When we are fearful and anxious we
must remember to pray. Obviously, fear and anxiety take away your prayerful
moods. However, God cares about your coming to Him in prayer, regardless of
your emotions or your circumstances.
