“If God is for us, who is against us?”
Romans 8:31

I love Halloween. Tonight, I will take my eight-year-old granddaughter around the neighborhood. I affirm that I will let her keep ALL the candy, even the ones that look ESPECIALLY tempting to me.

It is a fun day to play at being scared. But being scared in real life is NOT fun.

Everyone is afraid of something. If you look closely, you will see that the root of all your fears is a lack of trust in God, or a lack of trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way. Fear can be overcome.

Positive Christianity gives you seven steps to overcome anything that scares you.

1) Stop waiting for circumstances to be just right, or until you are sure you know what to do before you act. Fear does not go away unless you take risks to make your dreams come true. With each accomplishment comes new strength and improved self-esteem.

2) Keep a diary where you can write about the things that scare you. Notice where they occur, how anxious you feel, and what you do to deal with the situation. Over time, you will be able to see what works best for you and also see how you have improved. You will find that faith in God takes away all fear.

3) Acknowledge the positive things in your life. Anxious people tend to overlook their own strengths. When you are scared, make a conscious effort to remember some past positive experience, instead of focusing on your failures.

4) Avoid catastrophic thinking. Ask yourself what the worst possible outcome of the situation could be. You will usually find that it’s something you could survive, even though you would not enjoy it. Having faced the worst possibility, it makes it easier to deal with what does come. Now, think about what God could bring to pass in the situation, to make it better.

5) Acknowledge your fears, but do not face them alone, face them with God. Many people try to mask their anxieties with busy activities. These may distract you from your anxiety for awhile, but when they become avoidance techniques, anxiety eventually increases.

6) Stay focused on God. Much anxiety is the result of projecting yourself into future situations. Stay in the present, here and now, with God– since that is all you can control anyway.

7) Take it one step at a time. If you are overwhelmed at the thought of confronting an anxiety triggering situation, tackle one piece of that at a time with the help of God. Give yourself permission to repeat steps as many times as it is necessary for you to be completely comfortable.

God can and will take away your fears.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
God makes me lie down in green pastures;
God leads me beside still waters;
God restores my soul.
God leads me in right paths for God’s name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff – they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalms 23: 1-6

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

All things are working together for my good, and I am working with them in the wisdom and the power of God.
