Fear and Anxiety are emotions that are truly complex. As I study the word fear I can only feel unequipped to truly share this word from an educated perspective. I am not a phycologist nor a therapist. But I can share from my experience. And my wanting to know more so maybe I can help the ones I love that suffer at the hands of such a debilitating emotion. I do believe the emotion of fear was a God-given emotion to protect us from danger.
I feel anxiety seems to manifest itself when we have a frightening experience. It leaves a vivid memory in our subconscious mind that forms a trigger that mirrors a fear that we once had. When these triggers are activated by the mind it can make these emotions come racing to the surface. Causing your pulse to elevate, your palms to sweat, your thoughts to race, and your breathing can become labored. The fight or flight thoughts kick in. It can cause a surge of adrenaline to assist with either fighting or fleeing.
I do believe the mind is complex and learns to distinguish the difference between a true genuine danger and one that is rising from a previous experience. Both can be debilitating and can rob you of living life to its full potential and can crush relationships.
Join me as I share my thoughts and meditation about that ugly 4 letter word we know as FEAR.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’Isaiah 41:10
I sought the Lord, and He answered me. And delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
