All that I do know is that it is. Some people have a fear of heights, or of flying. Others fear crowds, or confined places. Fear takes many shapes and many forms, and it s part of everyone s life. Here s something to ponder.
Fear is a normal part of life.
I used to think that fear was somehow the opposite of faith. As I have already mentioned, I had a terrible fear of speaking in public. In fact, when I first started to go to Bible studies, I was so afraid that they would ask me to read a verse, that I couldn t listen to the lesson, I just trembled. I couldn t believe it. Well, to make a long story short, I m still shy, and I still get nervous and have fears, but I walk through them by faith.
