Confusing and conflicting feelings such as fear, disappointment, sadness, depression, rage and hopelessness can be sorted out and placed into perspective. So, when fate strikes and leaves you teetering on the edge between confusion and composure, seek out a supportive listener. It could be a family member, a good friend or professional from the field of social work, psychology, psychiatry, counseling, the clergy or other spiritual leader. Also, you might consider joining a support group which deals specifically with the issue you are facing. Vigorously tackle the demon of fear.
Fear is present in every major life crisis.
Although it is to be expected, fear can strike a crippling blow to clear thinking. Once it moves in, fear will try to remain permanently in the psyche, holding a person hostage, canceling hope, obliterating dreams, abolishing reason and negating faith. The key to managing and reducing fear is to understand it. Once this analysis begins, you will be amazed how fear will begin to recede, providing you with clear and unique opportunities to triumph over it. Another way to tackle the demon of fear is to arm yourself with scriptural affirmations of God's power.
