Last night I woke up twice to loud siren and flashing lights. Both times were not real. I know it was caused by fear. Mostly fear caused by what is going on in the world.
While I am awake I can pray my fears away, I think. Or did I just shove them deeper into my being.
The Bible has so many verses on fear, but I will be honest. It is hard to get the deep down fear away. Faith over fear is the Christian catch phrase. I know if I die I will go to heaven, so why do I fear. I know that if people do not like me, it is okay, God loves me.
I know God provides what I need. I have seen it in my own life and through the lives of people I know. Yet, it is hard to tell my fears to be gone when your adrenaline is running high.
God stepped in again and provided me with support through a marvelous group of women whom I have come to love. As I listened I heard the same fears and answered prayers. That love overcomes the fears.
The communion of friendship as we prayed together was my answered prayer after my sirens of fear. God gave us others to remind us that it really is faith over fear. Our lives crossed for a reason.
