Military people who have survived intense bombing attacks say that anyone who claims he wasn't afraid at the time is either a liar or a fool. It is not a sin to feel panic or terror in a life-threatening situation. When fear strikes, think of God and consciously trust Him. Remember, fear will chase out faith, or faith will chase out fear. Because I'm trusting in Your Word, I know that You are near.
Faith can break the stranglehold of fear.
