Fear not

When everything goes at a supersonic speed and life is getting harder and harder. Challenges that confront us every day. Fear engulfs us and paralyses us. We are like an animal in the middle of the road at night, an on coming vehicle fast approaching.
Many people claim that the phrase 'do not be afraid' appears 365 times in the bible. This makes a fear not for every waking day.
So why do people fear? what do people fear? Most people have what is called the fear of the unknown.People are worried and overwhelmed by a deep fear. A fear that they cannot put a finger to.
The bible tells us to fear not, for He who created us is with us. In the darkest hour, when we fill as if we are alone, God is there with us to comfort us.
Fear of the unknown is called xenophobia. This is a fear of anything that is beyond ones comfort zone. People naturally tend to oppose change. Whenever change comes they recoil into their cocoons.
What do people fear most? I quote Maryanne Williamson who very accurately spelled out what our deepest fears are. She said and i quote “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
 Today purpose to FEAR NOT!!
