Fear can best be described as:
“An attitude of anxiety or distress caused by concern over a threat to one’s future. Scripture provides numerous examples of situations in which fear is experienced. It declares, however, that God alone is to be feared, and moments of human fear can be opportunities for deepening faith in him.”[1]
In light of the panic and anxiety, Dr. Fletcher offers some sound, Biblical advice.
