Finding Hope In The Midst Of Fear

Finding Hope in the midst of fear------- how? 

Is that possible?  Yes, of course! 

Fear is not a totally negative thing! 

Fear motivates us to do what we need to do -(that of which is in our control) to work on what we can to help us.  

It also lets us know that something doesn't feel right---- again to choose to actively do something in a positive direction. 

Psalm 16:9

“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope.”

Hope means to me---- to look forward to the future with optimism. 

Thus, you can choose to have hope and to be in that mindset- that things can get better. You can choose to focus on hope and to cover up your fear with that hope.

However- you first need to allow yourself to feel everything that you are feeling with your fear!  
  

Psalm 119:114

“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.”

Give yourself permission to feel how you genuine feel with your personal situation.

It is helpful to sit and quietly think of your true feelings and emotions that is associated with your fear for a 15 minimum time period while taking slow deep breaths. It will help you feel better emotionally and physically. 

Then, tell yourself that any negative emotional pain (and physical)- that you are experiencing can be covered completely in Faith, Hope and Love.

Focus positively on healing!

Have faith!

Choose to have Hope! 

Pray and give your fears to the Lord as well! 

Galatians 5:22-26 ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
