Title
Help stop the spread of fear
Description
I’ve had lots of healings through prayer, so I began praying right away. But after about 15 minutes of doing my best to understand more about God’s all-power, I noticed something interesting: My focus was divided. I would pray, but then, out of the corner of my mental “eye,” I’d look at the swirling, fearful thoughts of being miserable for the whole weekend, or of disappointing people, to see if they had a little validity after all. That wasn’t going to work! I realized I needed to shut the door completely on those fearful thoughts so I could open it all the way to God. This wasn’t about ignoring something. It was about turning away from the thoughts that were pulling me deeper into an unproductive place of fear, worry, and concern so I could feel God moving me in a constructive, strengthened direction instead. And you know what? The moment I did that, not only did the fear disappear, but I was completely healed.
