Fear itself really is scary.

Letting go of fear is a hard thing to do. It involves trusting yourself, trusting others, and trusting God most of all. This is a hard thing to do when you're not used to it. You know what, though? When I really sit and think about what scares me the most, it's fear itself. I know that's so cliche, but there is a reason a lot of people say that. Living in fear is quite possibly the scariest way to live, because you go into almost every situation with a pessimistic attitude. If you can somehow let go of that fear, you will truly be free. The last few months of my life have been devoted to letting go of my fear and putting everything into God's hands. It's something that I struggle with every day and will probably always struggle with. I'm sitting here in the therapist's office one nail-bite away from an anxiety attack, and for what? What am I so scared of? Anything and everything I am scared of is completely out of my hands and in God's, so why am I scared? From now on when I'm feeling scared, I am going to let go of my fears and turn to God. Only he can provide the kind of comfort that can completely erase the fear of being scared.
