The Light of Comfort: Conquering Fear

Fear is meant to be conquered. It is an emotion that, if allowed, can destroy the inner self of any individual. What causes one to fear? Where is it derived from? Anything or anyone that threatens the security and comfort causes the individual to be afraid. The essence of fear is a chemical reaction in the brain and body of a human or an animal. The fear evokes the fight or flight syndrome. For example, if you face danger that you feel you can overcome, you will fight the cause of the fear. If you feel overwhelmed and distraught, experiencing helplessness, you flee from the danger.

Fear is destructive. If you do not choose the fight or flight element, and you choose to live with fear, it will produce stress and/or illness and eventually it leads to death.

Some primary examples of fear are fear of failure, fear of not having enough money, fear of losing your job, fear of commitment or loving, and the ultimate fears of life and death. In conjunction with these examples there also exists the fear of God, but this can be good or bad. To fear the judgment of God actually leads you to follow your conscience and do the right thing. But if the fear paralyzes your mind and darkens the spirit and leads you to distress and anxiety, then, this is detrimental to peace of mind and spirit.

How can you cure fear? The most essential form is to follow the heart by desiring goodness. This attracts inner peace. Prayer is powerful in overcoming fear. The Bible is a good source, such as the Psalms and New Testament. Psalm 23, The Good Shepherd is a fine example and prayer that shows you how to conquer fear. Practicing forgiveness and forgetting wrongs, like God does, is a key element in eliminating fearful forces. Finally, trust in God. When you place all confidence in Gods power to help you overcome fear, you experience a light of comfort that vanquishes fear from your path. Life then becomes meaningful, and it has purpose. What more can you ask for?
