Even something as simple as going up a flight of stairs would remind me of the breathlessness I had felt before surgery. I had prayed then. I needed to pray now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<em>\u00a0\u00a0When I am afraid, I put my trust in you\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong>(Psalm 56:3).<\/strong>\u00a0Fear is a natural enough emotion for us humans. I find I get into more trouble by pretending it\u2019s not there <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-strength\/how-to-fight-fear-and-stay-positive-during-trying-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">than actually confronting it<\/a>, as the Psalmist reminds me. Doing something about it,\u00a0<em>in\u00a0<\/em>prayer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<em>\u00a0\u00a0There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong>(1John 4:18).<\/strong>\u00a0The antidote to fear isn\u2019t some sort of brazen courage or plucky confidence, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/a-chance-to-show-great-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it\u2019s love.<\/a> Reminding yourself of God\u2019s love and savoring it. Loving myself as God loves me. Love is here to cast out fear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<em>\u00a0\u00a0The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u00a0(Psalm 118:6).\u00a0<\/strong>The other day I was sitting with a group of friends from church, prayer partners. It suddenly occurred to me, \u201cAll these people prayed for me. They are part of the reason I\u2019m here.\u201d Accept that the Lord is on your side, and you will discover that you are never alone. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/holiday-prayers\/join-us-for-a-thanksgiving-day-of-prayer-grateful-in-any-circumstance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Spirit fosters community.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<em>\u00a0\u00a0For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, \u201cAbba! Father!\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong>(Romans 8:15).\u00a0<\/strong>I love how Paul acknowledges our very habit to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/when-fear-became-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fall back into fear.<\/a> We thought we had moved away from it, but there it is, lurking in the shadows of our souls.<\/p>\n<p>The solution? A very simple direct prayer, \u201cAbba! Father!\u201d Not some distant formal language but \u201cAbba\u201d which is like saying \u201cPapa\u201d or \u201cDaddy,\u201d our beloved Father, exclamation point!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)<em>\u00a0\u00a0Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God\u2026Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u00a0(Luke 12:6).<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s so easy to get trapped into thinking that God doesn\u2019t really care about some mundane thing that has us in a snit fit. Think again, Jesus is saying. If God can remember those sparrows sold for two pennies, <a href=\"\/node\/80112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how can He forget what\u2019s bothering us?\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>6)<em>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong>(Psalm 46:2).<\/strong>\u00a0Monstrous things might happen, disasters right and left.
